2018 world champion, 2022 World Cup silver medalist, France already said goodbye to the European Football Championship in Germany in the quarter-finals. And of course, everyone knows that one of the best performing teams, the Spanish national team, eliminated Mbappé, regardless of this, the question always arises: can the national team captain stay in his post?
Didier Deschamps reacted angrily to questions regarding his future at the press conference following the relegation:
You are awesome… Ask my president!
The president of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo, gave the answer – which the goal.com witnessed. According to this, for the time being, they do not want to disrupt the specialist’s contract until 2026.
“I see no reason to terminate the contract prematurely. Didier will continue his mission. We will talk to each other in the coming days, and then we will analyze what happened a little more deeply. What was missing for the semi-final and how we might achieve better results.”
Deschamps’ position is not enviable, because it is an open secret that Zinedine Zidane has long desired the position of captain of the French national team (we wrote regarding it here).
