Reports - Blanc to step down (http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12025/7853561/Reports-Blanc-to-step-down)

[Brazil]

Comme nous vous l'annoncions il y a quelques minutes en exclusivité, Laurent Blanc a bien décidé de ne pas poursuivre son travail au poste de sélectionneur de l'équipe de France. La Fédération française (FFF) vient tout juste de confirmer l'information samedi après-midi dans un communiqué. «Au terme du délai de réflexion supplémentaire prévu, Laurent Blanc a contacté samedi le président de la FFF, Noël Le Graët, pour lui indiquer sa décision de ne pas solliciter la reconduction de son contrat de sélectionneur national, est-il expliqué sur le site officiel de la 3F. Noël Le Graët en a pris acte et a tenu à saluer le travail effectué par Laurent Blanc à la tête de l'équipe de France depuis août 2010».

Le nom de son successeur ne sera pas dévoilé avant mardi, jour du prochain comité exécutif de la Fédération. En attendant, «aucun commentaire ne sera fait par la FFF et son président», est-il ajouté dans ledit document.


It seems he decided to step down. Didier Deschamps would be the favorite to substitute him.

Blanc did the best he could do with this dumb generation

[lefty]

Deschamps ?


Lol get ready for defensive football

[sonic21]

Hopefully the next coach will start with a new generation. Lots of overrated players on the team right now.

And Lefty, Monaco in 2004 was an offensive team. Deschamps just needs good players. When your best offensive player is Valbuena you have a problem.

Deschamps ?

I have nothing against defensive football if it's the winning football.

We won the WC with the Defense

Ah shit I forgot about Monaco

We won the WC with the Defense
True; great D, world class goalie

But you win with D as long as it's supported by a great offense; the 1998 team had Zizou, Djorkaeff, Henry, Trezegol, Duga

[sonic21]

lol great offense

Duga didn't really play
lol guivarch
Djorkaeff was past his prime
zidane was average
henry and trezeguet too young.

[lefty]

Zidane was average :lol

(2006 was his best WC though, a true masterpiece)

Henry and Treze put a lot of pressure on the other team's D

Duga's hair threw their opponents off

[DAF86]

Zidane was average :lol

Masterpiece=two good games :lol

I'm a Zidane fan but I have to agree with Sonic, Zidane's WC performances are overrated because of team success. Cue in butthurt Messi response. cry

[sonic21]

Zidane was average :lol

i was just talking about 1998 when France won only with defense.

zidane best tournament was the Euro 2000. He would have won the golden ball if he hadn't headbutted a german in the CL.

[Venti Quattro]

:lmao Zidane and headbutts :lmao

[100%duncan]

^ :rollin

dude Guivarch nuff said

98 was maybe one of the worst O team in the WC. They won with D and the midlefield

Guivarch is probably the worst O player of the FNT ever

[urunobili]

lol Evra dismantling two French losing teams on the last two big tournaments :lmao

[Brazil]

L'equipe is reporting Deschamps refused FNT :lmao

Paul Leguen is now the favorite :lmao

[sonic21]

ouch, i love the guy but...

:lmao

[lefty]

L'equipe is reporting Deschamps refused FNT :lmao

Paul Leguen is now the favorite :lmao
Leguen :lmao


" Shoot the ball as hard as you can " :lmao


Anyway, even if DD wanted to, Im not sure it would have happened; the FFF still remembers an old OM scandal that involved a close friend of DD

[Venti Quattro]

Why is Deschamps refusing the job? It's not like OM is making the Champions League anyway. :lol

[lefty]

Why is Deschamps refusing the job? It's not like OM is making the Champions League anyway. :lol

Offers from EPL clubs

Paul Leguen is now the favorite :lmao

:lmao the same Leguen that pulled a Marwijk with Cameroon in the '10 world cup.

[sonic21]

he doesnt want to take the job just after his friend Blanc. He thinks he wasn't treated well.

And he left OM too.

Guivarch is not an all time great but back then, the guy was really good tbh.

I re-watched some of the 98 WC games and was surprised. He created a lot for himself and others. Plus, he was defensively very effective.

Well... not scoring a single goal during the competition and selling swimmingpool in Britany doesn't help his legend, i guess !

[Brazil]

Finally Didier Deschamps has accepted to be FNT coach for 2 years with an additional 2 years if France goes to the WC

good news for french football, better than Leguen
