The after-deschamps is preparing. And the designated heir does not wait to have the keys to start the work.
Didier Deschamps' contract runs to the 2026 World Cup. Afterwards, a page will turn. The question of his succession is on everyone's lips, and a name returns with the insistence of the evidence. The designated heir awaits his time, patiently, and displays a foolproof serenity. But this apparent calm actually hides meticulous preparation. In the shadows, the future coach is already at work.
Notes, a network and clear ideas
This man is of course Zinedine Zidane. Far from resting on his laurels, the former number 10 takes advantage of his free time to prepare his future mission.
According to information from The team“Zizou” is a fierce observer. He looks at Ligue 1, European matches, “and even far beyond”. And above all, he is not content to look: he takes many notes and would already have “ideas on the future game of the French team”.
Its preparation does not stop at tactics. He is a manager, a leader of men, and he knows it. He inquires about the personalities of the new generation players, activating his huge network to have information from the interior. His aura is such that, as one of his loved ones confides, “the news goes back to him more than he will seek them”.
Zidane has already started work with the Blues.
The shadow of the Zidane already hovers on the Blues
This behind the scenes preparation is no secret for anyone in the world. And especially not for players. Zidane “knows that players dream of working with him”. The first of them is none other than Kylian Mbappé,
with whom the current goes admirably welltheir link being reinforced by their common connection with Real Madrid. The idea of seeing the duo gathered in the blue jersey is already salivating all of France.
On the side of the federation, we are cautious. President Philippe Diallo wants to formalize anything before the end of Deschamps' mandate. But in private, no one is fooled. The succession seems written. Intermediaries are already in place to make the link when the time comes. Everything is put in place, slowly but surely. The future of the Blues is being written today, in the notebooks of a world champion who awaits his time.
