No, you are not Almighty God after fourteen years at the head of a selection, and it is even up to you to get used to the new generation. Finally, that’s what Didier Deschamps thinks. While he will begin his last competition at the head of the Blues this summer, he returned to one of the most important principles of his managementduring an interview for the latest issue of So Foot Club. « I have one key word: adapt »explains the world champion in 1998, armband around his arm, and 2018, white collar around his neck.
“Banning it in the locker room would no longer make any sense”
Others would not have the same philosophy, but he believes that he must « adapt to the players » and not the other way around. Seeing the years go by and the generations pass, the Basque relies on a specific example : « Cell phones. Do they have the same place in our daily lives in 2026 as in 2012? No ! Banning them from the locker room would no longer make any sense. »
He even confides that it is very useful to him: « When the players are at their club, I can contact them a few minutes after their match when I have information on their fitness to check. »
Didier Deschamps is going to have fun on RnBoi this summer, that’s for sure.
