France World Cup winner Christophe Dugarry admits he'd like good friend Zinedine Zidane to take charge of Les Bleus.
The former Real Madrid coach has been linked with the job, though Didier Deschamps appears set to remain in charge.
Dugarry complained: "This is not the subject. That there are five years, ten years, fifteen more years left, it's not my problem, it's not up to me to decide. I do not hide that I would prefer it to be Zizou, I want to see something else. Deschamps, I hear what he says, but we cannot say that the French team belongs to everyone and keep it for twelve years, especially when you have a possible successor who has won the Champions League three times in a row and who can bring something to the French team. In absolute terms, moreover, that does not concern me.
"You can never talk about football. Don't do it when you win, like in 2018, on the theme 'I don't care, I won', okay, eventually, but when you lose, you have explanations, you have a debate, at least on the preparation of the match. Wasn't the speech heard? Did they think the 'DD cat' and a Mbappé hit would be enough to win? I dare not even imagine what we would have taken in 1998 if we had done eighty minutes like that in the final of the World Cup.
"The Argentines, we blew them up in five minutes like popcorn. They wre weaker than us, it was a gift to play against them. There was no fully managed match, but we are used to it now, for twelve years (10 in reality), it is part of the Deschamps style where only the result counts."

Forget that thing, Zidane isn't super coach, those 3 UCL were possible due to referees support. Remember, Bayern Munich have to get red while in lead home and away, offside goals were credited for Ronaldo, Juventus were 3 goals up with great momentum, penalty came from nowhere, Buffon had to protest and got red, and so on..... Madrid thrives on referees support... Since Man U lost Referees support, you can see the fall..

Argentina will only replay the final match if only the France national team will not include any black player in their team

Deschamps should be changed. With all of France's talent, despite the injuries, that team could have brushed aside Argentina. Deschamps' record with the world's most talented squad is fifty fifty. Zidane is a proven no-nonsense manager.
you know football very well. with 2 fastest wingers in Mbappe and Dembele, and load of talents, he let Argentina dominated for 80' without a solution. deschamps got to go or France will fail badly again at Euro 2024

totally agree w Dugarry. with 2 fastest wingers in modern football and load of talents, deschamps chose to play counter-attacking football and let Argentina dominated for 80'. FFF must be very stupid to keep deschamps. players won the the WC 2018 and deschamps got nothing to do with it.

personally I think french football is not highly maximized by the Deschamp . Presently France have highly potentials players like Brazil, but sometimes Deschamp person interested used to over ride national interest. For instance why should he waited for France president to intervene, before inviting Benzema to national team ? He should have used personal intuition to make key decision long time ago. Meaning, he knows that some people have capacity to add value to his team yet he failed to invest in their strength. For instance Neymar is a party flick, yet you separate his weakness from the team. France winning world cup shouldn't have been sacrifice for any purpose. No matter a Benzema problems. It will be another person personal problems tomorrow. I believe we saw Giroud and Dembele inabilities and limitations when they met great challenges with Argentina. Long before finals Dembele should have been dropped the bench. He worked without final results and purpose. It's not necessarily about tiredness but individual limitations. Perhaps they were lucky to reach final. what if France have met England ? Zidane is available therefore France football federation should study the two alternative hypothesis and maximize potential and opportunities. I feel France federation should NOT be too emotional to make decisions. Brazil is thinking Fresh life and outside the box, France should do the same.
good perception.

Dugarry could not hit a brick wall from 2 ft. Passenger not hero. Sucked.

After ten years on the hot seat I think Deschamps should call it a day. He has started his downward trajectory and can't win anything again. If he remains until European nations cup in 2024 he will be sacked because he'll fail woefully. Mark my words.

Deschamp is good its just that Argentina was able to overpower them at the end.

Deschamps is a useless coach. He doesn't like young talents but old forks. Away benching good player like Camavinga and Coman

Where would you hide your head if Zidane's reign didn't yield good results .. it would have been better if you didn't mention a name

Although, I don't like Deschamps because of his relationship with Big Benz. I also like Zidane and want him back as a manager. I have to admit that Deschamps shouldn't be sacked. He has achieved a lot: ▪Reaching the final with a team with many injuries and changes. ▪Beating England and Morocco to reach the final. _ I believe he deserves the respect and freedom to choose his future, whether to step down or continue.
