While Didier Deschamps has extended his contract until 2026, Daniel Riolo reveals that the coach started the World Cup thinking he would leave his post at the end of the competition. Therefore, Zinedine Zidane was in the starting blocks to replace him. But when he discovered the new generation, Deschamps changed his mind.
After reaching the final of the world Cuplost against Argentina, Didier Deschamps agreed to remain at the head of the France team, even extending his commitment until 2026 for the World Cup in North America. Therefore, it blocks the road to Zinedine Zidane who wants to become coach of the Blues. And according to Daniel Riolo, Didier Deschamps had yet planned to leave his post after the World Cup in Qatar.

“Deschamps wanted to leave before the World Cup”
” Didier Deschamps wanted to leave before the World Cup. He changed his mind along the way because he is very clever and very opportunistic. Indeed, he saw that there was a reservoir and that he still had something to do and that it is the best life he can have to be a coach. “, launches the editorialist of RMC at the microphone ofAfter Foot before recalling that the Blues would have done just as well with Zinedine Zidane.
“How if Zidane takes the France team is not able to offer the spectacle that we have seen”
“ How if Zidane takes the France team – as it would have been good and normal for him to do – he is not able to leave with the same players and offer the show we saw tonight ( Friday) ? Zidane he has three Champions League, he coached for years and was a top level player, galactic », adds Daniel Riolo. We will therefore have to wait a few more years before we see Zinedine Zidane on the bench of the France team.
