Beyond that — that’s it, at some point you have to stop. A clear decision has matured in my mind. The year 2026 is a very good moment for parting.
You never want to stop when everything is beautiful, but one must be able to say "stop." There will be life afterwards. I do not know what it will be like, but it will also turn out to be very good.
The most important thing is that the French team remains at the top, where it has been for many years," quotes Deschamps RMC Sport.
