On the hot seat after the elimination of the Blues in the semi-finals of the Euro, Didier Deschamps saw one of his former players claiming his replacement by Zinedine Zidane.
Kylian Mbappé easily recognized him after the defeat of the Blues against Spain on Tuesday: the euro was a failure. For him as for the French team, which was aimed at nothing but a new coronation in Germany. For Philippe Diallo, the objective was nevertheless fulfilled with this semi-final. Nothing can therefore oppose the maintenance of Didier Deschamps at the head of the Blues.
“” He has a contract and fulfilled the sporting objective given to him. And when you look at his career at the head of the French team, he is exceptional. I do not see a reason to question his contract. Didier will continue his mission “, He thus confided in an interview with the team in the aftermath of the elimination of the Blues. The eagerness of the president of the French Football Federation to kill any debate around the future of Didier Deschamps on the bench of the French team has also aroused strong reactions.
Jérôme Rothen wants Zidane
Because for many observers, Didier Deschamps has had his day. And despite his contract which runs until 2026, it is time for the former midfielder to hand over. This is particularly the case of Jérôme Rothen, who passed under the orders of “La Dèche” in Monaco. “” I supported Deschamps because I have a lot of respect for the coach and the work he did at the head of the French team. He stabilized this selection and there were results. The image is very good too. And players no longer move, unlike 2010. But alongside that, it’s been twelve years. People are entitled, and I am one of them, to wait for results and also a little more emotions ”
And for the former midfielder, his replacement is found. “We went from three quarters that support him, only a quarter. Three -quarters want Zidane to see arriving. And deep down, it will hurt him, but he can say: “People may be right. I wanted to go up to 2026 but I will give way to Zizou, “he added.
