Under contract as coach of the France team until the 2026 World Cup, Didier Deschamps formalized his departure at the end of the competition scheduled in North America. This is obvious since his reign began in July 2012. But the announcement of the coach of the 2018 world champions and unfortunate finalist of the 2022 World Cup could shake up the daily life of the Blues until the “World Cup 26”. According to some, the long-awaited takeover of Zinédine Zidane in a year and a half will weigh on captain Kylian Mbappé’s team.
This is not at all the opinion of Patrice Evra, former left side of “DD” at AS Monaco and then in the French team. “I would like to say a big thank you to Didier for everything he has done, as a player and as a coach. Now that he announces it, I think it’s good. We’re not going to start saying that it disrupts the team. He will still be there for a year and a half, it will calm down because I find the criticism illogical”first launched the speaker of Rothen ignites on RMC, Tuesday, who may have forgotten the Euro 2024 destitute of the French team.
Deschamps like Santini and Domenech?
While the previously recorded departures of Jacques Santini before Euro 2004 and Raymond Domench before the 2010 World Cup had resulted in hasty eliminations (and a historic scandal for the second), Evra assured Jérôme Rothen: “Je’, stop your bullshit, stop your bullshit!” It won’t matter at all, you concentrate, you think about the present. They will give everything because they will say: ‘for the last competition (by Didier Deschamps, editor’s note)’. We will even forget that Didier said he was stopping.”
Thierry Henry, also a guest on Jérôme Rothen’s show, also congratulated Didier Deschamps: “Well done and thank you. It doesn’t matter what style of play it is. It’s none of my business. I already have to say thank you to him for the advice when we met at the federation”. Henry rubbed shoulders with his captain of the French team, world champion 98 and winner of Euro 2000 during his time at the head of the Espoirs, until the silver medal obtained last summer during the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 (defeat against Spain in the final).
