2022-08-12T07:57:05.305Z


The president of the FFF assures that he has no contact with the Ballon d'Or 1998 with a view to a possible succession of Didier Deschamps.


There is nothing above the World Cup.

And I tell myself that it is certainly not the last.

In the long interview granted to L'Equipe and published this Friday, Didier Deschamps slips more than a clue about his desire to continue at the head of the France team after the World Cup.

For the first time since he took the Blues ten years ago, he is entering a major tournament without having extended his lease beforehand.

It is a decision of my president, and I have no problem with that

, he assures.

He is the one who chose me, and he is the one who decides, and for me, that has no impact.

While Zinédine Zidane clearly applied in the sports daily in the spring to take the reins of the national team in the more or less near future, Noël Le Graët insists that he had no contact with the Ballon d' Gold 1998. “

Not even in a dream!

I'm not going to argue with Zidane now, I forbid myself.

Journalists do enough to talk about Zidane.

It wouldn't occur to me to give him a little phone call to say to him:

"Hey, don't sign anywhere, wait for the World Cup."

Do you see me saying that?

There is no Zidane subject, it is Didier Deschamps who is in place and we will see after the World Cup, ”

explains the president of the FFF in

L’Equipe

.

"

I am told that he would like to be coach of the Blues one day, but I am not aware, ”

he adds.
