Except surprise, Didier Deschamps should not leave his position as coach of the France team. While the shadow of Zinedine Zidane hovered over his head before the start of the World Cup, the Bayonnais knew how to turn the tide. Crowned vice-world champion four years after lifting the cup, DD won his right to continue the adventure.
Because if some wanted change, the former midfielder took advantage of his excellent relations with Noël Le Graët, president of the FFF, to inform him of his desire to continue. The two men met recently and Deschamps has undoubtedly set his conditions for him to staynamely a long-term contract, until the World Cup 2026.
The duration of the contract speaks
Except that The Team tells us that NLG does not agree on this point. Concretely, the boss of the FFF does not intend to offer him a contract beyond 2024, date of the next Euro. The reason is simple: Le Graët does not want to extend a man whose contract would go beyond his mandate as president (the elections are in 2024). A parameter that does not please Deschamps.
The latter, who received a gross annual salary of €2.5 million plus €22,000 for each match as compensation for his image (the place of finalist for the Blues in Qatar should also earn him €290,000), not a question of money. But if he is still at the head of the Blues at the start of Euro 2024, DD no longer wants to relive the start of the competition where his future is talked about.
