A few weeks ago, everyone was only convinced that this 2022 World Cup was going to be Didier Deschamps’ last competition at the head of the Blues. And it was Zinedine Zidane who was to take over. But since then, the situation has changed a bit, and the trend would even be to sign a new contract. Certain information published by theTeam even indicated the possibility of seeing him stay until the 2026 World Cup !
According to information from RMC Sport, the ball is in his court, and his thinking has evolved during this World Cup. Indeed, he seemed rather to want to leave his post at the end of his contract, in December. But now, he clearly opens the door to signing a new contract. But he sets conditions.
Two major conditions
First of all, he would probably want a fairly long contract. More than the two years that the FFF seems to be offering him currently. We can imagine that he has the will to lead this new blue generation to this North American meeting of 2026. But that’s not all. The coach would like in particular to have the results of the audit mission launched by the Minister of Sports Amélie Oudéa-Castera within the FFF, following certain testimonies evoking internal dysfunctions.
These include accusations of sexual harassment once morest Noël Le Graët, the president of the Federation. The results are expected for the beginning of 2023, and Didier Deschamps will be particularly attentive to them. We will therefore obviously have to wait a few more weeks to find out what the future of Didier Deschamps will be like. But the tendency would therefore be rather for the extension.
