Unhappy finalist of the last World Cup in Qatar at the head of the France team, Didier Deschamps will he continue his mission started after Euro 2012? The answer should fall on January 7, during the next federal assembly of the French Football Federation (FFF).
According to the press release published Friday by the FFFthis meeting will be held in a hotel in the 17th arrondissement of Paris in the presence, in particular, “of the members of the executive committee of the FFF, of the High Authority for Football, of the executive office of the Amateur Football League, of the presidents of Leagues, Districts, Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 clubs”.
If the agenda does not specifically mention the future of Deschamps at the head of the Blues, evoking rather “the activity and financial report of the FFF season 2021-2022 and the modifications of the federal texts”, it is during of the executive committee planned during this federal assembly that the president of the FFF Noël Le Graët should announce Deschamps’ decision on his future and have it validated.
