Dechamps’ future to be decided by French Football Federation

• Didier Deschamps expected to make decision on national team future by Wednesday.
• Zinedine Zidane has long been mentioned as a likely candidate for the role.
• Les Bleus are aiming for success at the Euro 2024 finals in France.

Didier Deschamps, the head coach of France, is expected to make a decision regarding his position leading the national team by Tuesday or Wednesday.

On Monday, when the team was returning to Paris, discussions about Deschamps’ future were not on the agenda.

Noel Le Graet, president of the French Football Federation (FFF), vowed to call Deschamps by Wednesday at the latest because he wants clarity and does not want to waste any time, according to French network BFMTV.

“When he has recovered, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will call him. Of course, we’ll catch up as quickly as we can “On Monday, he said.

Although Deschamps’ current contract is over, it is largely anticipated that he will be offered a new one if he wants to continue and pursue success at the Euro 2024.

In Qatar on Sunday night, the France coach stated that a decision regarding his future would be made early in the new year.

Zinedine Zidane, the former manager of Real Madrid, has long been mentioned as the likely candidate to lead the national team, but he might have to wait if Deschamps thinks he still has the drive necessary for the position.

Deschamps, a former midfielder, has led Les Bleus for ten years. When asked on Sunday about his future with the club, he responded as follows: “Not the first to inquire, you. I wouldn’t be able to respond to it tonight even if we had triumphed.” However, Deschamps will deliberate carefully before deciding to extend his 10-year contract with the two-time world winners.

Naturally, I feel terrible for the players and staff, but you’ll learn more after my meeting with the FFF president at the beginning of the following year. After a thrilling 3-3 draw with Argentina, France lost 4-2 on penalties despite Kylian Mbappe scoring two of his three penalties for a rare World Cup final hat-trick.

Deschamps claimed that his team’s lack of enthusiasm was the reason for their Sunday loss to Argentina.

“We were playing a dynamic, aggressive opponent for the first 70 minutes, and we weren’t on their level. However, we returned beautifully. We had a chance to win it, and I hate that because we were so near “Added he.

However, he gave Argentina credit for their performance, calling them a high-caliber team that played aggressive, shrewd football.

With a victory, Deschamps would have been just the second coach to win back-to-back World Cups, making France the first team to do it in 60 years. Both of the accomplishments were unsuccessful.

According to Deschamps, the French team has been in a precarious scenario for some time.

“We didn’t perform as well as we could have. Some of our players lacked energy when playing against a powerful opponent. We managed to bring in new legs and return, keeping the dream alive, but regrettably, in the end, we were unable to realise the dream “explained he.

Kylian Mbappe’s eight goals and the Golden Boot were a meagre consolation for France.

“Kylian gave a brilliant, outstanding performance. Even if the outcome did not turn out the way he had hoped, he still put his imprint on it. He was ultimately very dissatisfied because of this “Added he.
