The most capped coach in the history of the France team, Didier Deschamps (151 matches managed) is preparing to experience his sixth major international competition. Beaten in the final by Portugal in 2016, the Blues were quickly eliminated in 2021 by Switzerland, in the round of 16. Favorite for the final victory, another early elimination would be considered a bitter failure for France. Enough then to call into question the position of Didier Deschamps? Asked about this, Philippe Diallo took stock of the future of the Basque technician in the event of poor performance in Germany.
“No, I don’t believe it at all (that he would be threatened if the Blues did not go to the semi-finals). Already because he has a contract which runs until 2026. Beyond that, we are with a coach who, for years, has had lasting results at the highest level which speak for him. At Euro 2021, some observers said that the elimination in the round of 16 (against Switzerland, 3-3, 4-5 in the tabs) was a failure and that it was necessary to change coach. A year later, we played the World Cup final and it was a few centimeters away from adding a third star to our jersey (against Argentina, 3-3, 2-4 in tab) »explained the president of the FFF in the columns of The Team.
