The President of the French Football Federation (FFF), Noel LeGratindicated this Thursday in an interview with the regional newspaper Ouest France that he met Deschamps Next week Guingampthe Breton city where the president lives.
Your contract renewal will be listed in the meeting menu. Le Graet expressed his desire for Deschamps to continue and assured in the interview that “the cards are in his hand”.

Le Graet had a different idea. That the new contract will last until the end of Eurocup in Germany in 2024, where his term will also end, leaving his successor a free hand to leave the election in the hands of whoever he wants. “I think we can agree,” said the FFF president in Ouest France.
Deschamps’ current contract expires on December 31, but the coach has taken massive credit in recent Qatar World Cupwhen he led the ‘bleus’ to second place, after missing out on a second successive Cup in a penalty shootout in the final against Argentina.

After that failure, Deschamps He knows how to build a competitive team, deal with significant casualties and present himself in Qatar with a competitive option that, from the beginning, was chosen as one of the favorites for the final victory.
The main arguments to deny his continuation come from his possible successor and, in this regard, one name appears in all power, Zinedine Zidane.
The former coach of Real Madrid He has not hidden his desire to one day sit on the bench of the team where he was declared world champion in 1998 as a player and, on his resume at the white club, he has built a reputation that no one can challenge his legitimacy.
zizou has received these days the support of Christophe Dugarry, another of the 1998 champions, who in remarks to the newspaper L’Équipe recalled France’s poor first 80 minutes in the final against Argentina and saw in them a dispute to change the bank of ‘bleus’.
Very critical of Deschamps, who he considers “just looking for the result” and was unable to dominate a final “where France is superior”, the former Barcelona player believes that “something new is needed”.
“We have someone who has won the Champions League three times in a row and can contribute things to the team,” he said. Dugarry.
His voice is somewhat isolated in a French football environment that is quite favorable to the continuation of Deschamps, which seems to lead to zizou still waiting to achieve his dream. In recent statements, Zidane has shown his intention to regain a bench “as soon as possible”, without setting a date.
If Deschamps finally decides to move on, it is possible that the former coach of Real Madrid Find a club to continue your career. If not, he is in the best position to take over.
