According to Thierry Henry, the case is heard. If his name is sometimes mentioned to take over from Didier Deschamps on the bench of the French team, a consequence in particular of the final of the Olympic Games won with the Blueberries, the former Gunner is indeed convinced of the appointment of Zinedine Zidane. “” We all know who will be the new coach. You know, I know, and I wish him good luck “, He said at the CBS back-to-school conference, where he officiates as a consultant.
According to L'Equipe, Zinedine Zidane is preparing for her new functions and already has some ideas on the players with whom he wants to start this new chapter. If Philippe Diallo intends to take his time before formalizing his choice, Didier Deschamps' successor can fear a full -bodied start.
