Last Tuesday, we learned of the recorded departure of Didier Deschamps from the France team after the 2026 World Cup. A decision by the coach which did not really please one of his former teammates with the Blues, like the latter explained it on RMC.
Didier Deschamps “disturbs” a former teammate and world champion, who does not hesitate to reframe him
This is an announcement that no one had really considered and, as is often the case, caught everyone off guard. During an interview given to TF1 to discuss his commitment to Operation Yellow Pieces alongside , the coach of the France team announced that he intended to leave his post after the 206 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico. “I’m not here to make an announcement but it will be 2026. I’ve been here since 2012, I’m scheduled until 2026, the next World Cup. It will stop there because it has to stop there at some point. In my head, it’s very clear”he blurted out to .
Which inevitably had a worldwide impact in the world of football where the information was commented on in all the media.

You never know what can happen in a group that can be demobilized. The timing is not good”he says in Rothen ignites on RMC.
Emmanuel Petit tries to understand Didier Deschamps

After 14 years at the head of the French team, he has explored everything he could do. I also think he is worn out, tired. It no longer passed at the level of the press and probably at the level of the players”analyzes the one whose last year.
A small statement which should not escape Didier Deschamps, who has already been estranged for a long time with Christophe Dugarry and who only seems to have friends among the former France 98 players.
