While Didier Deschamps announced that he would leave the Blues after the 2026 World Cup, a question arises: what will he do next? If the French coach has not yet revealed his plans, he has already ruled out an important option for his future, a choice revealing his attachment to a certain vision of his career.
No foreign selection for Deschamps
Asked several times about his future, Didier Deschamps was clear: he does not see himself leading another national team. Despite lucrative offers from abroad in the past, the current coach of the Blues has never been interested in this idea. According to Le Parisien, Deschamps attaches particular importance to the blue-white-red jersey, which he considers “above everything”.
This attachment explains why he did not even study proposals from other nations. The financial aspect has never dictated his choices, and the idea of taking charge of another selection does not correspond to his profile.
Deschamps has a lot of ideas.
Above all, a man on the ground
For Deschamps, the future could look different. He is not closing the door to a return to a club, particularly in the Premier League, where his notoriety and experience are arousing interest.
“Take over a club? Yes, from the moment I have already done it”, he confided to Nice-Matin in 2023. However, nothing has yet been decided, and the Basque technician prefers to concentrate on his latest objectives with the Blues.
Despite the speculation, one thing is certain: Deschamps will remain a man on the ground. As the former president of the FFF, Noël Le Graët, pointed out, the coach prefers “action under federal management”also ruling out any idea of presiding over the French Football Federation.
One last challenge to take on
Before definitively turning the page on the Blues, Deschamps has one last challenge to take on: leading the French team to a third star at the 2026 World Cup. An exit which, if it succeeds, would mark the end of a cycle aged 14 and would further strengthen his status as a legend of French football.
