France team: Zinedine Zidane, Christophe Galtier… Noël Le Graët says more about Didier Deschamps’ successor


Didier Deschamps’ contract with the France team ends in just under ten months. And in an interview with Europe 1, the president of the FFF said more about the possible successor to the 1998 world champion captain if he were to leave his post after the World Cup in Qatar.

This summer, Didier Deschamps will celebrate his ten years at the head of the Blues. But his future on the Tricolor bench remains uncertain. And a departure is not to be excluded, especially if the world champions experienced a new failure like last summer at the Euro, where they were eliminated in the round of 16 by Switzerland.

In the event of departure, “which is far from being done”, specified Noël Le Graët, several names return to replace the former midfielder. There is “obviously” Zinedine Zidane, free since his departure at the end of last season and courted by PSG. But it’s not the only one. Christophe Galtier is also one of the potential candidates.

Noël Le Graët praised the merits of the current coach of Nice, 2nd in Ligue 1 behind Paris. “Look what this man has done. (…) What he did in Lille and what he is doing in Nice deserves respect. He is an excellent coach, French, “he confided to the microphone of Europe 1. One thing is certain, the next coach will be French. “There are good coaches in our territory. If I am still in office and if Didier ever had to leave us, which is far from being done, it will be a Frenchman anyway, ”said the former president of Guingamp.

But everything should depend on the desires of Didier Deschamps, who for the moment shows “no weariness in the competition or in the esteem that the players have for him”, assured Noël Le Graët. The two men should meet and discuss the situation at the end of the World Cup.
