Didier Deschamps thwarts Zinedine Zidane's plans, Eduardo Camavinga's secrets

Deschamps wants to remain the boss

As usual, Didier Deschamps gave an interview to regional media. He spoke about his role as coach, his longevity, and especially his future list. As we can read on the front page of Latest News from Alsace or Dauphiné Libéré, the coach already has “his list in mind”. He has “its hard core», as he likes to remind us, but last minute changes are always possible. Otherwise, for his future, Didier Deschamps sees himself staying with the Blues for a long time. “I do not even think about it. I approach each competition with the same state of mind: without thinking about what will happen afterwards. And I analyze every competition the same way, too. Even if the result matters, of course, I always take the time to step back, to do my own analysis, to measure my desires. And I never forget that I don't have the last word. It was never me, moreover, but the president of the Federation“, he assures. Hard blow for these coaches who saw themselves taking over, like Zinedine Zidane.

Camavinga puts the dots on the “i”

Eduardo Camavinga also opened his door for an interview, this time to our colleagues from Parisian. The midfielder of the Blues and Real Madrid spoke about his role in both teams and especially his use. Indeed, we think about the replacement of Camavinga as a left back, it has caused debate. He admits to being annoyed by this situation. “People insist on this, you have to know how to dot the “i”. I am a midfielder. This is the position that I have always loved, where I have settled, where I have all my bearings. It’s in the middle that I have fun. And, for me, there's nothing more important than pleasure“, he explains.

A start in the Bundesliga for Ten Hag

We end with the English press, and more precisely the Manchester Evening News. The daily shares a front page with Gareth Southgate, the England coach, who is tipped to take the reins of Manchester United this summer if Ineos decides to part ways with Erik ten Hag. No decision has yet been made on the future of the Dutch coach, who is under great pressure. Southgate has admirers within Ineos, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe having been impressed by the work he has done with England. But it would be difficult to name Southgate. He is linked to England until the end of the European Championship in Germany, the final of which will take place on July 14. If they go all the way… In the meantime, Erik ten Hag already knows where he wants to coach for the rest of his career. According to the Daily Express, he will be offered a way out of the Bundesliga if Manchester United fire him this summer. Bayern Munich are reportedly monitoring his situation closely, even if Xabi Alonso remains the number one choice. Bayer Leverkusen and VFB Stuttgart would also be ready to enlist the Red Devils coach if things happen at home.
