France team: the future of Deschamps, the Zidane possibility … the truths of Le Graët – Maxifoot

Under contract until the 2022 World Cup, France team selector Didier Deschamps will not extend before this tournament. This Tuesday, the president of the FFF Nol Le Grat took stock of the future of the French technician by also mentioning the rumor Zindine Zidane.

After the failure known during the Euro last summer with a elimination in the round of 16 against Switzerland (3-3, 4-5 tab), the selector of the France team Didier Deschamps chose, in agreement with the president of the French Football Federation Nol Le Grat, to continue his adventure at the head of the Blues.

Since then, the French technician has successfully restarted the machine with a coronation in the Nations League but also a qualification obtained for the 2022 World Cup.

Deschamps will not be extended

Contrary to the operation of the last years, Deschamps, despite this ticket for Qatar, will not be extended before this competition. Indeed, Le Grat and the former coach of Olympique de Marseille have only planned to achieve a point after the tournament. I told him that despite our habit of extending it before each competition, we will not do it. He replied that in any case, he would have refused and that we will see each other again after the World Cup. It happened in all friendship, assured the leader for AFP on Tuesday.

Didier is a very upright man. Extended or not, it will work the same way. If he wins the World Cup, maybe he will want to continue. If he does not win it, he may have the spirit of revenge. I appreciate him so much: we can’t say that the decision will be his, but not far. I believe that the fidelity in Didier has paid, he judged, thus opening the door to collaboration after the World Cup.

Zidane, obvious but …

However, to eventually succeed Deschamps at the head of the selection, one name comes up very regularly: Zindine Zidane. Free since the end of his adventure with Real Madrid last summer, the former playmaker is indeed an option. Everyone thinks about it. Imagine that Didier tells me that he is stopping or that he does not want to continue. Zidane’s name will obviously come, if he’s free, admitted Le Grat.

Ask him to wait? I will not do that. To lead the France team, you need a lot of desire. If you’re doing it by calculation, it’s not necessarily the right system. We just qualified for the World Cup, so now is not the time to talk about succession, he finished. A dossier to be followed closely after the World Cup …
