Under fire from critics since the defeat of the Blues against Italy on Friday evening (1-3), Didier Deschamps can count on the support of the boss of the FFF, Philippe Diallo.
Although the French team reached the semi-finals of Euro 2024, the overall performance of the French team was not convincing. With only two goals scored in open play by French players during the competition, the overall level was questioned by many observers, some of whom did not hesitate to question the legitimacy of Didier Deschamps on the bench of the Blues. On Friday evening, the defeat against Italy in the Nations League (1-3) rekindled the debate. Not enough to disturb the French Football Federation.
Before this game against the Nazionale was played, Philippe Diallo gave an interview to Le Figaro. Questioned on the fate and future of Didier Deschamps, the president of the FFF made things clear. For him, a change at the head of the Blues is still not on the agenda. He has a contract until 2026. He is meeting his objectives and is giving satisfaction.
“And what does it matter if France does not get its head back on track? A priori yes for Philippe Diallo who repeated: ” Didier is under contract until 2026 so the question is not relevant today. »
For Diallo, it’s status quo
The leader, who is preparing to run for re-election as president of the FFF, therefore prefers to avoid opening a new file. As he has already taken care to stay away from what is happening regarding the elections for the Professional Football League, Philippe Diallo clearly does not want to make waves, take positions or make choices that could turn against him and put his future candidacy in jeopardy.
For the moment, he therefore remains on his initial line and retains his full confidence in Didier Deschamps. I think he will use this League of Nations to prepare for our major objective: the 2026 World Cup. We are building the team so that the Blues can be there in the United States. “And for the moment, the project seems very substantial.
