As the World Cup approaches, Didier Deschamps could well shake things up. With the French squad list almost finalized and his future still uncertain, the head coach is playing a double game… with a potential surprise still to come.
Behind the scenes, the boss of the France national football team has never ruled out a final gamble. While 95% of the squad seems set, an unexpected selection could still make its way into the final list, aiming to spark new momentum and keep the pressure on. A bold move, in line with his often pragmatic management style.
A possible twist in Deschamps’ future
But the other major storyline concerns his future. With his contract ending after the World Cup, Deschamps has no intention of stepping down. According to L’Équipe, he even mentioned to his players a surprising potential destination: Saudi Arabia.
Several options are already being discussed. The Al-Ittihad bench could become available if Sérgio Conceição were to leave. Another possibility is the Saudi national team, currently managed by Hervé Renard, whose future remains uncertain after the tournament. In Europe, opportunities appear more limited, and despite possible movement at clubs like AS Roma, SSC Napoli or Inter Milan, the former France captain does not seem tempted by a new challenge in France, England, Spain or Germany.
One thing is certain: before thinking about what comes next, Deschamps could still deliver a surprise… starting with his final squad selection.
