After parting ways with Marseille, Deschamps is expected to be named new http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 manager following Laurent Blanc’s resignation from the post on Sunday
The former World Cup-winning midfielder Didier Deschamps is the overwhelming favourite to become new France boss after Laurent Blanc refused to carry on by declining a new two-year contract.
Laurent Blanc stepped down from the post following a less than convincing European Championship campaign, where Les Bleus failed to progress through the quarter-finals.
French Football Federation’s long-sought target Arsene Wenger has already refused to take the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 thus putting Didier Deschamps in a strong position to become Les Bleus manager.
Didier Deschamps has officially resigned as coach of Marseille following months of speculation regarding his future at the club. The 43-year-old, who joined Marseille in 2009, has been linked with the France national team job in recent
times.
Deschamps, who was France's captain when they won the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000, has expressed his desire to coach France on several occasions.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is still the first choice of FFF but the 62-year-old has no interest in becoming France’s manager.
While talking to reporters, Wenger dismissed reports linking him with the vacant France’s managerial post and insisted that his future is with Arsenal for a few more years to come.
“There are a lot of names. But me, I will be very busy with Arsenal where my contract still runs for two years.”
Didier Deschamps has a decent record as a manager and would be a popular choice for the post. The former Marseille player enjoyed a successful career as a player and as a coach, his career is also very laudable.
The former France international guided Ligue 1 side Moncao to a somewhat surprising appearance in the 2004 Champions League final where they were outshone by Jose Mourinho’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186.
Guiding his former club Juventus back to Serie A, was one of his amazing feats. Deschamps then joined Marseille and guided the French club to a Ligue 1 title in 2010.
Along with Deschamps, former international Luis Fernandez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 player is in pole position to land the job.
