His planned replacement, at least on paper, is as good as it gets.
French legend Zinedine Zidane will officially take over for Deschamps as the manager of the men's soccer team. Zidane, of course, led France to the 1998 World Cup title and the 2000 European championship as a player. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in soccer history. Zidane and Deschamps were ironically teammates on those French squads.
Now, Zidane gets to take over for his home country and try to emulate France's immense success under Deschamps. Knowing Zidane's reputation, it's probably a safe call to assume France will remain an international soccer power for the foreseeable future.
