The Olympique de Marseille coach has been linked with a move to Stade Louis as the Russian owner of the club looks to guide the club back to Ligue 1
Just a day after the sacking of Kenny Dalglish as the manager of Liverpool, many English newspapers announced that Didier Deschamps was on the short-list of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 to take the reins of a team that has performed abysmally in the last few seasons.
Today, Le Provence claims that the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello, Roberto Martinez (Wigan Athletic) and Andre Villas Boas.
However, there is no indication whether the former Juventus would be given the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468 and Andre Villas Boas have already left for Boston to have a second interview with the club’s American owners, clearly meaning that Deschamps’ name
has been discarded.
However, reports in French media now claim that the Basque http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sur-c40635 le Rocher native might be in line for a return to AS Monaco.
Deschamps managed AS Monaco from 2001 to 2005 and even guided them to the final of the Champions League in 2004 where they were beaten by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186.
However, the Frenchman resigned in 2005 following a disagreement with the club’s former president. Now, things have drastically changed at the club with Russian billionaire, Dmitry Rybolovlev looking to bring back the former World Cup winner.
The 2011/2012 campaign has been a forgettable occasion for Deschamps as the club finished way away from a Champions League berth. Furthermore, due to his issues with sporting director Jose Anigo, Deschamps might consider jumping ship.
Reports claim that Monaco’s Russian owner is willing to offer Deschamps the same amount of money he currently earns at Marseille. However, it remains to be seen whether it would be enough to convince Deschamps to take up the challenge of promoting a Ligue
2 club.
Deschamps managed Juventus when they were in Serie B following the Calciopoli scandal so a move to AS Monaco won’t be a bad one considering that the Frenchman would be allowed to make changes to the squad where he sees fit.
