Despite facing many output challenges, the French strategists have not run out of opportunities. At least, they still have hope to regain their position in the near future.
Genesio, Haise and Roy have all received praise for their achievements over the past 2 years. Meanwhile, Beye has had a promising start at Rennes, having previously led the Paris Red Star to promotion to Ligue 2.
As for Sage, he will soon return to work in a short time. Julien Stephan, after leaving Lille, is still waiting for a new opportunity. The most famous is Christophe Galtier, who won the Ligue-1 with PSG and is in charge of Lille at Al Duhail in Qatar. However, he will soon return to Europe as there is information to negotiate with West Ham.
Famous former players like Henry are in the commentary business but it is not ruled out that they will return to the coaching bench. Vieira is a regular at Genoa after his appointment in November 2024.
Not only the names that were famous when they were players like Henry or Vieira, the current French players are tending to want to learn the coaching profession. However, they also called on the FFF to reduce conditions so that the number of players studying can be increased. Since then, the number of new recruitments has been large.
Didier Deschamps told L'Equipe in February that he would not retire after leaving the national team at the age of 57. Deschamps could continue his work with national teams or get into club football.
The most anticipated person is Zidane after his unprecedented achievement with Real Madrid. Will ZiZou join Deschamps in the French national team or will he return to the club arena?
If Zidane had been determined to wait after the 2026 World Cup, it is uncertain whether he would have been able to sit in the hot seat left by Deschamps. Therefore, if there is a potential destination at the moment, the former Los Blancos captain should choose it.
"We have coaches who have proven their ability such as Rudi Garcia, Philippe Montanier, Patrick Vieira and Didier Deschamps. They have gone through many challenges. They are the ones who create motivation to promote the training of French football.
Now, we have new names like Habib Beye and Regis Le Bris. They are good at their profession, know how to manage and are completely adapted to modern football. I am still optimistic about the current situation" - Bertrand Reuzeau shared.
French football has a contrasting face at many levels, from the national team to clubs, even coaches. The future still has many opportunities but also many challenges.
If there is no rapid change, the "teachers" from the land of the archipelago will gradually disappear from the world football map because they are not updated.
For French fans, they are always proud of their national team with the world's top superstars having gone through many decades. France is a very strong football team, having won the World Cup and EURO on one occasion.
They possess a lot of talent, so if they have the right direction in 5-10 years, the stars who are shining in Les Bleus can completely step up to the coaching bench to reshape the game in the coaching world.
