2022-05-07T18:36:53.770Z


Asked by L'Équipe, the president of the FFF takes stock of the position of national coach and the possible succession of Didier Deschamps.


Didier Deschamps, stop or again?

Unlike past international competitions, 'DD' has not been extended until the World Cup in Qatar next winter, from November 21 to December 18.

We both agreed.

He's not angry with me.

He adores me.

Well, I think... He'll never speak ill of me to you.

He lost a match at the Euros and for a large part of France, he had to be fired

, "ironically the president of the French Football Federation (FFF), Noël Le Graët, interviewed by

L'Équipe

before the final of the Coupe de France between Nice and Nantes and who swears "

on honor

" not to have thought of separating from the person concerned.

And to continue:

Didier doesn't need that.

We will see each other at the end of the competition if he still wants to continue.

We will spend the time that suits Guingamp

”.

What if Mr. Le Graët finally decides to cut off the head of his “

friend

”?

What if Deschamps left the position he has held since 2012 on his own?

If Didier and I separate, he will surely be one of the options

”, loose the president of the “3F”.

He

” is Zinédine Zidane, free since leaving Real last summer and who we know is interested in the post of “

DD

”.

"

I'm not saying to myself: 'Provided Didier tells me no and I go see Zidane'

", specifies "NLG".

Zidane may take PSG, to (take) the France team you have to be free

Noel Le Graet

Especially since "

to (take) the France team, you have to be free

", as the 80-year-old leader reminds us.

At the moment, this is the case of “

ZZ

”.

But what will happen in a few weeks?

"

Do you see me saying today: 'Is it Zidane who will replace Deschamps?'

We'll see.

Zidane may take PSG

”, slips Noël Le Graët, recalling that his only priority is to “

do everything to put Didier in the best conditions to win this World Cup

”.

One thing is certain: he has no intention of imitating his predecessor, Jean-Pierre Escalettes, "

who had already signed Laurent Blanc before going to South Africa for the World Cup

" in 2010. "

Domenech was already on a toe.

How do you want the players to respect it when we have already designated the successor.

It doesn't happen and I never will.

Under no circumstances will I see another coach before having lunch with Didier

,” he concludes.

Remember that the arrival of Zidane on the bench of Paris-SG is anything but acquired.

We know that the future of Mauricio Pochettino on the banks of the Seine is anything but assured.

We also know that the Parisian leaders have an eye on the ex-coach of Casa Blanca, this is nothing new.

It must be said that the former playmaker of the Blues has everything to please the champion of France… And also the Blues.
