According to the latest report of the French newspaper Le Parisien, No ë l Le Gra ë t, president of the French Football Association, and Didier Deschamps, head coach of the French national team, held formal talks at Gangang’s stronghold on Thursday, French time.
If the details of their discussions have not been revealed, then the purpose of their meeting is undoubtedly to discuss the renewal of Didier Deschamps’ contract with the French national team.
No ë l Le Gra ë t was contacted by Le Parisien, and French Football Association officials confirmed that the meeting existed, but did not mention the content of the meeting. But the next executive committee of the French Football Association will be held on January 6, 2023, when it is likely to be the time to announce whether Deschamps will remain in office.
Given the Blues’ renewed success in the World Cup in Qatar, Deschamps is still the most reasonable choice for the Blues, despite losing to Argentina in a penalty shootout.
Long before the start of the World Cup in Qatar, the agreement between Deschamps and No ë l Le Gra ë t was clear: if France reached at least the semi-finals, Deschamps would have complete control of his future. Since the victory over England in the 1/4 final, there has been a tendency for the former France captain to remain in charge until at least 2024, the next major international tournament, Germany’s Euro 24.
