France were knocked out in the semi-finals. On paper, it was a fairly honest performance, which also confirmed Didier Deschamps’ position at the helm of Les Bleus until the next World Cup. But in reality, it was a fairly difficult competition for the Tricolores, with some matches that were rather gloomy and unexciting, and some internal problems, with some players frustrated with their fate.

What will DD’s list look like for the next matches of the Blues? We should know fairly quickly, with a new edition of the Nations League and matches against Italy and Belgium from the beginning of September. A list in which several players present at this Euro on German soil could be absent, in addition to Olivier Giroud who has already confirmed the end of his French career…

Several farewells from historic executives?

Indeed, as explained The Teamsome players are thinking about ending their international career. This is particularly the case of Kingsley Coman (28 years old). Very little used by Deschamps, he is thinking about withdrawing from the Blues, and the fact that DD continues in office could comfort him in this potential decision. The Bavarian had a very complicated tournament, with 16 minutes played in total and a huge drop in the hierarchy.

Benjamin Pavard is in a similar situation to that of his former club teammate. The 28-year-old defender has not played a single minute and has not hesitated to express his discontent. He too will think about his international future in the coming days, especially since several of the players he was close to in the group in recent years such as Lloris or Giroud have already said stop. Finally, the name of Antoine Griezmann is also mentioned by the media, even if he has publicly explained that he wants to continue. His relationship with Deschamps, which has become cold, could thus push him to make the decision to stop… We should know soon.
