Say it without saying it. Perverted in a way. Out of modesty and not to absorb the World Cup final event. Asked this Saturday before France v Argentina, Didier Deschamps, whose contract with the Fédération Française (FFF) ends on December 31, 2022, confirmed his desire to remain at the head of the French selection. He decorrelated his desire from the outcome of the final. “The French national team is the best thing that has happened to me professionally. First as a player and now as a coach, he said this Saturday. It is a passion of a very, very high level. More important is not me, but the team. She is above all, I have served her for ten years. It’s nice to think of me. But I only mean tomorrow’s match (ed. note: this Sunday afternoon). »
He was answering a question at a press conference at the Doha Convention Center. The journalist reminded him of old but recent lines in which he confessed his desire to remain for another ten years at the head of the Blues. Off the microphone, he will begin his answer with a smile: “Even twenty years! As we wrote on December 11, the BLU boss intends to continue the adventure and is waiting for an extension of at least two years at Federation headquarters. This could be finalized in January during a scheduled meeting between him and its president Noel Le Grae in Paris or Brittany, where the two men spend part of their time, only the fate of the latter, with the FFF being the target of an audit mission by the Ministry of Sports, could still make a difference, even if it doesn’t make sense of the lease extension story.
A tireless fighter, Deschamps absolutely wants to compete in Euro 2024, the latest competition to face him as a manager. Qualifying matches will begin in March 2023. France are in Group B along with the Netherlands, Ireland, Greece and Gibraltar. With the Blues, he lost the 2016 final in France against Portugal and was eliminated in the 2021 round of 16 by Switzerland. He won the 2018 World Cup, the 2021 League of Nations and set his sights on an incredible double this Sunday that only Italian coach Vittorio Pozzo has achieved in history during the World Cup in 1934 and again in 1938.
