Or got canned
Or something like that
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 do ent.
It seems he decided to step down. Didier Deschamps would be the favorite to subs ute him.
Blanc did the best he could do with this dumb generation
Deschamps ?
Lol get ready for defensive football
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.
I have nothing against defensive football if it's the winning football.
We won the WC with the Defense
Ah I forgot about Monaco
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
lol great offense
Duga didn't really play
lol guivarch
Djorkaeff was past his prime
zidane was average
henry and trezeguet too young.
Zidane was average
(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
Masterpiece=two good games
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
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.
Zidane and headbutts
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
lol Evra dismantling two French losing teams on the last two big tournaments
L'equipe is reporting Deschamps refused FNT
Paul Leguen is now the favorite
ouch, i love the guy but...
Leguen
" Shoot the ball as hard as you can "
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
Why is Deschamps refusing the job? It's not like OM is making the Champions League anyway.
Offers from EPL clubs
the same Leguen that pulled a Marwijk with Cameroon in the '10 world cup.
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 compe ion and selling swimmingpool in Britany doesn't help his legend, i guess !
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
