Doubt is no longer allowed. Re-elected this Saturday as president of the FFF, Philippe Diallo set things straight regarding Didier Deschamps. While criticism is increasing against the coach, the boss of French football has sealed the future of the former Marseillais, still under contract until 2026.
“This contract will be honored, said Philippe Diallo after his re-election in comments relayed by RMC Sport. The next deadline is the match against Croatia in March 2025 (quarter-final of the Nations League). We will have plenty of time to return to these contractual issues when the time comes. »
Zidane will have to wait until 2026, at least
A clear message sent to the detractors of Didier Deschamps… and to Zinedine Zidane. Indeed, the former number 10 of the Blues, still free, has never hidden his desire to take over from “DD” on the bench of the France team. “Zizou” also hoped to be appointed after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but his former teammate in the selection and Juventus was finally extended.
At the beginning of December, Philippe Diallo said he heard the voices rising to demand change at the head of the Blues. “
Are people talking to me about Zidane? I’d be lying if I said no one told me that, he declared on RMC.
I’m not in denial. I go into the field, I hear people, I listen to you and I know there is a demand. I’m not autistic at all. » Still, barring a huge surprise, Zidane will still have to wait at least until 2026 to take the reins of the Blues.
