The specter of dismissal haunts Deschamps… and Zidane is waiting
Sudan Events – Agencies
Didier Deschamps, coach of the French national team, remains under threat of dismissal, depending on the results of the Roosters in the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany.
Deschamps’ influence has increased since he led his country’s national team to win the World Cup in 2018, but the relationship between him and Philippe Diallo, the current president of the French Football Federation, is not as strong as it was with former president Noel Le Graet, who granted him a contract until the 2026 World Cup. The door to questions about Deschamps’ fate will also remain open ff they qualify for the European Championship finals. Deschamps has been the coach of the French national team since the summer of 2012 and led them to win the 2018 World Cup and the Nations League in 2021, in addition to the Euro 2016 silver medal and the 2022 World Cup silver medal. It is noteworthy that Zidane has been awaiting the opportunity to coach the French national team for several years, awaiting Deschamps’ departure, according to many of the previous press reports.
