The end is approaching for Didier Deschamps! The coach of the France team, in office since 2012, has made the decision to leave the Blues in 2026, announced Le Figaro and L’Equipe this Tuesday evening.
Didier Deschamps should make the news official this Wednesday in the TF1 1 p.m. news, on the sidelines of a cross-interview with Brigitte Macron as part of the yellow coin operation. The decision would have been taken a while ago, and the boss of the Blues has already warned his staff. Philippe Diallo, the president of the FFF, was also informed at the end of 2024.
Deschamps, the end is planned
The Didier Deschamps era will therefore end in 2026, at the end of the current contract of the captain of the 1998 world champions. It will end with a fourth and final participation in the World Cup, if the Blues validate their qualification. Until then, Kylian Mbappé and his teammates will also try to win a new Nations Cup.
Under the leadership of “DD”, the French team won its second world champion title in 2018, in Russia. The Blues also played another final in Qatar, in 2022, where they came up against Argentina. Antoine Griezmann, Hugo Lloris & Co also played in the Euro 2016 final in France.
The question of the succession of Didier Deschamps will quickly arise. The FFF has time to see it coming, and the first name that comes to mind is that of Zinedine Zidane. The former Real Madrid coach has never hidden his interest in the Blues, and he is currently free. This sounds obvious, but “ZZ” still needs to agree to wait another year and a half.
