Didier Deschamps, the coach of the French national team, is threatened with dismissal depending on the results of the team in the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany. The French newspaper "L'Équipe" reported that Deschamps's influence has grown since he led his country to victory in the 2018 World Cup. However, it added that the relationship between him and Philippe Diallo, the current president of the French Football Federation, is not as strong as it was with former president Noël Le Graët, who had given him a contract until the 2026 World Cup.
It was pointed out that if France fails to reach the quarter-finals against Belgium this Monday, Deschamps's future will be in question. L'Équipe further confirmed that questions about Deschamps's future will remain even if the team qualifies for the European Championship quarter-finals. Deschamps has been the head coach of the French national team since the summer of 2012, leading them to victory in the 2018 World Cup and the 2021 Nations League, as well as a silver medal in Euro 2016 and the 2022 World Cup.
Additionally, Zinedine Zidane has been waiting for an opportunity to coach the French national team for several years, anticipating Deschamps's departure according to many previous media reports.
