Mike Maignan, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Jules Koundé. We know, Didier Deschamps has no problem giving the captaincy to a goalkeeper (LLoris in Blue, Mandanda in Marseille), Mike Maignan (27 years old) therefore seems the preferred option. A true leader in the locker room, from the top of his 24 selections, “Magic Mike” is the favorite. Jules Koundé (25 years old, 36 caps) and Aurélien Tchouameni (24 years old, 36 caps) are two other credible options. Often efficient, with their heads on their shoulders and at ease in front of the media, the two friends trained together at the Girondins de Bordeaux could enter into the discussion.
