Having reached the end of his contract, the coach of the France team, Didier Deschamps, began to negotiate the contours of his probable extension when he met the president of the French Football Federation (FFF), Nol Le Grat, on Thursday.
The meeting between Deschamps and Le Grat was positive.
In office since 2012 but arrived at the end of the contract, Didier Deschamps should indeed continue as coach of the France team.
With the Blues’ journey to the final of the last World Cup, the technician has the luxury of being able to decide his own future.
A common will
Following his meeting on Thursday Guingamp with the president of the French Football Federation (FFF), Nol Le Grat, the first information is starting to leak and the strong trend is an extension of the 54-year-old man, confirm the newspaper Le Parisien and RMC Sports this Friday. There is indeed a common will to continue on the part of both parties.
N. Le Grat – we should be able to manage
I love it. I believe he loves me. We should be able to manage. But no bar. It’s not done , summarized the boss of 3F in the columns of the daily newspaper. If the leader retains a certain caution, it is because no final decision has yet been made. For the moment, the two men still have to negotiate various points. Beyond the duration of the contract (either two years; or two years plus two years in option; or four years), the double world champion wants above all to ensure the means that will be made available to him and the room for maneuver from which he will benefit.
The Basque may be waiting for guarantees on the future while Le Grat has found himself under the fire of criticism for months and strongly weakened despite a mandate running until 2025. If all goes well, the Breton could finalize the contract of DD next week and have it validated on January 7, the date of the Federal Assembly of the FFF. The next gathering of the Blues will take place at the end of March to face the Netherlands (March 24) and Ireland (March 27) as part of the qualifiers for the next Euro. With probably the same coach at the helm!
