France team: the surprising confession of Deschamps

During his visit to the press conference this Friday, Didier Deschamps did not escape a new question on the departure of Noël Le Graët from the French Football Federation.

The coach of the Blues first spoke of his relationship with the interim president of the French Football Federation Philippe Diallo. A general assembly scheduled for this Saturday should confirm the latter as boss of the body until the next election in 2024. “What I can say is that since Philippe Diallo has been in office, we have had a good relationship. He has a lot of issues to manage and the French men’s team is one of them. I discuss regularly with him on subjects that concern the France team to keep him informed”Didier Deschamps explained to the media.

The link is not broken with Le Graët

If he claims to be satisfied with his collaboration with Philippe Diallo, Deschamps explains that he has remained in contact with Noël Le Graët. “We will have the result tomorrow even if everything seems to be going in the right direction. This does not prevent us from keeping in touch with President Le Graët, for what we have experienced and known together. I’m not going to tell you when, how, why, but one doesn’t preclude the other”said the coach of the France team a week before the match in Gibraltar as part of the Euro 2024 qualifiers. The Blues will then face Greece at the Stade de France three days later.

Deschamps persists and signs

One thing is certain, the coach of the France team refuses to overwhelm the former boss of the FFF, forced to resign by accusations of harassment. “I will always have a lot of respect and gratitude for what he has done for me and for that we can talk to each other and see each other without it bothering the current president today. ”he concluded.
