Despite the elimination of the Blues in the semi-final against Spain after a complicated Euro, Didier Deschamps was kept in his position as coach by the president of the FF Philippe Diallo. Still under contract until 2026, “DD” will therefore, barring a huge twist, continue his adventure at the head of the French team until the next World Cup, at least.
A maintenance that does not please Jérôme Rothen. The observation on the last months and last years, it is terrible. And when you do not win, you cannot highlight the results. At the Euro, these are not good performances. When you are the president of the FFF, you have the obligation to sound the public opinion because the selection belongs to all the French “, said the former Parisian on Tuesday on RMC.
Rothen on Deschamps: “I have the feeling that he doesn’t want to give up his place to Zidane”
“I have a lot of respect for what he didhe continued. For him, the sporting mission has been fulfilled over these twelve years and he is perhaps aiming for the longevity record. Except that it is the French team. And the Blues, with the pool that we have and the people who can train this selection. It is not as if we have no one behind us. Some have long teeth and a greater notoriety than Didier, like Zinedine Zidane.
And Jérôme Rothen demanded nothing less than the departure of Deschamps, he who dreams of seeing Zidane take over: ”
When all the boxes are not ticked, you have to change. There, Deschamps is holding on to a small branch and it is starting to break. It is time for him to say stop. The exceptional image he had, it is falling apart. And I have the feeling that he does not want to leave his place to Zidane. In the meantime, Didier Deschamps is still in place and is preparing to unveil his next list this Thursday, in view of the Blues’ next two matches in the Nations League against Italy (September 6) and Belgium (September 9).
