After Didier Deschamps said no Noel Le Graet’s advances, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 coach is the bookmakers favourite to land the Les Bleus job
August 15 will signal the start of the international calendar as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035 in an international friendly. However, before that, Les Bleus must find a new coach. Many thought that following Laurent Blanc’s decision
to step down from his Les Bleus role and Didier Deschamps’ resignation as coach of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127, the former World Cup winner would be the favourite to replace his old teammate.
French Football Federation president, Noel Le Graet probed DD seriously in the last few days and must quickly find a new candidate as time is short.
Current manager of the Oman national team, Paul Le Guen, is now considered as the new favourite to land the France http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
However, it remains to be seen if the former Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain coach would be ready to return to France and face the criticism that was aimed at him especially during his time as the coach of the capital club. This is the reason why other options
are still being considered.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Francis-c13946 Smerecki, who won the UEFA Under-19 European Championship (2010) for France and lead the young squad to fourth place at the Under-20 World Cup, is also being considered for the managerial post along with former France international Philippe Bergeroo.
The likes of Rudi Garcia, Rene Girard and Arsene Wenger are also being linked with the France managerial hot-seat. However, all three managers have chosen to distance themselves from these reports due to various reasons.
Noel Le Graet’s choices have been reduced considerably and as long as Didier Deschamps does not change his mind, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-c29347 Le Guen may be his only option. Le Guen won the Ligue 1 three times with Olympique Lyonnais and also guided Paris Saint-Germain to the Coupe
de France way back in 2008.
Since then, the 48-year-old has not been able to win anything but his experience of managing two national sides (http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oman-c2975) will come in handy if Le Graet goes for him.
