PARIS (FRANCE) (ITALPRESS) – Following the official departure of Matthias Jaissle to Newcastle, Al Ahli are searching for a new head coach. And not just any coach, but a high-profile name: a FIFA World Cup winner both as a player (1998) and as France’s head coach (2018), who has been available for just under a month after leading Les Bleus to a fourth-place finish at the latest World Cup.
The Saudi club has submitted a lucrative offer to Didier Deschamps—one that, on paper, would seem impossible to turn down. However, Deschamps is still considering his options, and the feeling is that he may ultimately decline. The reported differences are said to concern not financial terms, but technical and sporting matters.
Deschamps, who recently stepped down as France head coach and was succeeded by Zinedine Zidane, recently commented on his future: “I haven’t made any decision about my future yet. Football will certainly remain my world. I’m fortunate to be able to choose—I’m in a privileged position,” said the former Juventus midfielder.
