The former midfielder has confirmed that the intention is to resign from the roll after the FIFA World Cup 2026 with speculation open about who will replace it.
As part of the broad update, Deschamps confirmed that Mbappe is still firmly in his plans and the former Los Blancos -Baas Zinedine Zidane has tipped to replace it in 2026.
'Of course he will be there (in the Marsvster]. Why wouldn't he be? For very specific reasons [he was not included before]”He said through quotes from L'Equipe.
“He is very attached to the French team, even if he has had a complicated personal period. He is back to full fitness, and you see that in his game, and also in his head.
“Zizou [Zidane] Is a very good candidate, a natural and an expected. But again, I don't know if he wants it, that's his decision. “
