Saudi Arabia is launching a project to attract Didier Deschamps to prepare for the 2034 World Cup.
Idman.Biz reports that this was announced by Sky Sport journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
The Saudi Football Federation has great respect for the French coach. It was previously reported in the media that he could be appointed coach of one of the Saudi clubs. But now there are reports that the country's football officials want Deschamps to lead the national team.
Saudi officials plan that Deschamps will not only serve as interim head coach, but will also oversee the team's entire development process, developing a long-term development strategy for many years.
Didier Deschamps' experience and achievements increase confidence, and the country's authorities believe that his approach can take the national team to a new level. The goal is to build a team that can compete with the best teams in the world by the 2034 World Cup and fight for medals.
Saudi Arabia is ready to offer Deschamps a generous eight-year contract with full management powers. Didier Deschamps' contract with the French national team expires in July 2026, and he does not intend to renew the contract.
