L’Equipe newspaper revealed that the future of current France coach Didier Deschamps is at stake depending on what the Roosters achieve in Euro 2024.
Deschamps’ contract with France still extends until the 2026 World Cup, but bidding farewell to the Euros in the round of 16 or the quarter-finals could mean the coach’s immediate dismissal from his position.
According to the report, Deschamps’ relationship with the current president of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo, is not as strong as his relationship with former president Noel Le Greet.
For this reason, there will be no complacency in Deschamps’ evaluation, and only results will decide his fate with the France national team.
At the same time, the name of Zinedine Zidane stands out as the first choice to coach France in the event of Deschamps’ dismissal, especially since the French football legend has repeatedly declared that he dreams of coaching the Roosters.
France will face Belgium in the round of 16. If it reaches the quarter-finals, it will face the winner of Portugal and Slovenia. In the semi-finals, if it succeeds in reaching it, it will meet either Spain or Germany.
