It's an old fantasy to support the France team: and if, when Didier Deschamps takes a step back, his successor was Zinedine Zidane?
The hero of 1998 after the captain of the Blues world champions nearly 23 years ago?
Everyone wants it, starting with the two interested.
At the start of the year, Deschamps had already opened a door to this possibility by saying that he saw his former team-mate at Juventus take over when the time came.
In turn, Zidane did not say no, this Saturday, during a press conference in Madrid: "The France team ... It can be a goal, later", admitted "Zizou" by estimating that 'there would' certainly be a possibility someday.
I said this ten years ago when I started coaching.
It will be one of the things that will certainly be possible one day.
But today I'm here (
Editor's note: at Real Madrid
) and it's my duty to only think about what I'm doing.
At the moment, I am here.
I am enjoying what I am doing here.
In the future, we'll see, you never know.
But my whole mind is here at Real Madrid, ”Zidane said ahead of Real's game in Valencia on Sunday (4:15 pm) in La Liga.
Let's be clear: there is no question for the moment that Zidane settles on the bench of the Blues.
Deschamps is in place and well in place and the former Bordeaux player does not intend to leave Madrid right away: "I've been here for almost 20 years, the club offered me the opportunity to train this great team and I take this chance every day.
What will happen in the future, we do not know.
Nobody knows if he will change jobs or go to work elsewhere ”,“ ZZ ”concluded.
Deschamps under contract until 2022
The triple winner of the Champions League with Real as coach responded this Saturday morning to Noël Le Graët.
In an interview with RTL which will be broadcast this Saturday evening, the president of the Federation, vying for his re-election on March 13, affirms that "if Didier (
Editor's note: Deschamps
) stopped, if I was still in place, the first no one I would see is Zidane.
"
Didier Deschamps' contract at the head of the Blues runs until 2022 at the end of the World Cup in Qatar.
Asked about this subject, the Breton leader explained on our site on February 5: “He will be at the end of his contract after the World Cup in 2022. If I am in place, it is likely that I will discuss again with Didier.
Today, I'm not sure he wants to leave the France team after the World Cup in Qatar.
But it's too early to talk about it.
[…] The role of coach fits him like a glove.
It is indisputable, undisputed.
