Didier Deschamps stays straight in his boots.
The coach of the Blues assured Le Figaro a few weeks ago: he is not tired and intends to keep his position at the head of the France team for as long as possible.
The 53-year-old technician repeats it in an interview with Le Parisien on Monday, and evokes the recent remarks made by Zinédine Zidane.
Free since leaving Real Madrid in May 2021, the former number 10 does not hide his desire to train the Blues in the near future.
But his former teammate does not hear it that way.
In this interview granted to our colleagues, Didier Deschamps recalls: “
Today, the place is not free since I occupy it with my staff.
Afterwards, everyone has the freedom to say what they want and how they want.
On me, it has no impact.
The interest, today, for the players and the whole selection, is to perform well at the World Cup.
Anything that goes against this common goal is not necessarily a good thing
”.
We can see here a certain annoyance on the part of the coach towards the various rumors which announce Zidane as his future successor after the World Cup in Qatar.
