While the future of Didier Deschamps remains unclear at the helm of the France team, the manager has neither opened nor closed the door for PSG. Nonetheless, as it stands, Deschamps has shown himself to be excited about remaining in his current post for another ten years.

Whether in Paris within the management of PSG or in Doha with the owners of the club in the capital. In the meantime, Manchester United , which seemed to be the main option of Mauricio Pochettino , appointed Ralf Rangnick as interim coach of the Red Devils until the end of the season. And we already told you at the beginning of November that the track Zinedine Zidane was on the side of Qatar to take over from Argentina coach on the PSG bench. And this operation still seems to be happening behind the scenes. Le10sport.com exclusively revealed to you this Friday, December 17 that several sources indicated that the possible arrival of Zidane was anything but illusory at the moment T and that the long-standing work of his advisor Alain Migliaccio was beginning to bear fruit. Worse, a change of coach is always a possibility taken into consideration by the decision-makers of PSG for this winter, as was the case with Thomas Tuchel last year. Zidane is a priority, but there has been much talk of a preference for the 98 world champion to take over from Didier Deschamps at the head of the French team at the end of the latter's contract in December 2022.
Didier Deschamps empty his bag for his future in the French team and in the club!
The opportunity for Didier Deschamps to open the door to the challenge PSG if Zinedine Zidane came to replace him with the Blues? On the airwaves of RMC, the coach of the Team of France did not rule out this possibility recently, although he went through OM in the past, historical rival of PSG . “If I see myself training PSG one day with my links with OM? Today, I am not available. I am not in the market. You will ask me the question in a year if the show is still there. (…) I do not speak for myself. Players have played at both clubs, why can't a coach. If it wouldn't be a problem for me to train PSG? It's not that I wouldn't have a problem with that, but it's a reflection. (Antonio) Conte was champion with Juventus and was champion with Inter, who are their worst enemies. He made friends on one side and enemies on the other. If everything is possible? In absolute terms, yes ”. However, this Friday, during an interview with AFP and in comments reported by Eurosport, Didier Deschamps was particularly excited about the idea of continuing his coaching career for many years to come. “If I have been contacted by clubs? It could happen that I was asked, after the title of world champion for example, but I am not available. I don't have to open the door. I am fulfilled. I don't feel any wear and tear as a coach. If I could be ten years older than what I'm experiencing today, that would be ideal. Because that's the very, very high level, that's all I like. I know very well that it will stop one day, but in any case in 2022, my phone is on silent »
In addition, Didier Deschamps took advantage of the interview in question in order to put an end to rumors that he himself would make the decision to withdraw in the event of a second world title at the head of the French team in Qatar next November, explaining that although he does not know what his future will be, he does not set an age limit. “If a title in Qatar would spell the end of my adventure at the head of the Blues? I do not ask myself the question. I don't project myself. If I am to have another life, that will be great too. But I don't know which one. There is no age limit (laughs). When I first started out as a coach, I told my wife I would have done the trick at 40. And look today “. The PSG is warned about Didier Deschamps , even the main interested party does not seem to be fixed on his next challenge.
