The next Real Madrid coach?! Deschamps - the surprise candidate for the 'los blancos' bench...
2026-04-11 00:01:56 / SPORT
Real Madrid are reportedly considering a sensational move for France coach Didier Deschamps as they look to reassert their dominance in Spain and Europe. The World Cup winner is expected to leave his post at Les Bleus after the 2026 World Cup, and the board at the Santiago Bernabeu have identified him as a top target.
Shocking candidate for the Bernabeu
The former Marseille and Chelsea player has emerged as a serious candidate to become the next Real Madrid coach. According to reports from RMC Sport, the France national team coach is on a shortlist of high-profile names being considered by Florentino Perez to take the reins at the Bernabeu.
Deschamps, who has been in charge of the French national team for 14 years, will step down after the World Cup. While Zinedine Zidane has long been mentioned as his most likely successor with the national team, Deschamps' own future now points towards a return to club football with the world's biggest club.
The difficulties in the post-Ancelotti era
The interest in Deschamps comes at a time of considerable instability for Los Blancos. Since Carlo Ancelotti's departure in June 2025, the club have struggled to maintain their place at the top of the game. Xabi Alonso was brought in with high expectations last summer, but the former Bayer Leverkusen man failed to adapt and was sacked just seven months into his tenure.
Alvaro Arbeloa took over at Real Madrid in January but has struggled to stay in the job. Real Madrid face the prospect of another season without a major trophy and the Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich could be the final straw for the former defender's coaching career, despite his close personal relationship with the club's president.
The logic behind Deschamps' transfer
There are three main factors that make Deschamps an attractive candidate for Madrid. Firstly, his reputation as a leader of players is unrivalled, having managed teams with Monaco, Juventus, Marseille and France. In a dressing room like Madrid's, where managing individuals is as important as tactical ability, Deschamps is seen as a perfect fit.
Moreover, his winning record speaks for itself. He led Monaco to a Champions League final, won Ligue 1 with Marseille and led France to World Cup glory in 2018, followed by a final appearance in 2022. In addition, he already has strong relationships with key Madrid stars such as Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni, and his ability to speak Spanish is seen as a major advantage.
