French Football Federation president Noel Le Graet has revealed that Didier Deschamps could remain as the national team coach until at least 2020.

Graet thereby also played down growing speculation about Zinedine Zidane becoming French boss in the near future.

Zidane resigned as Real Madrid head coach soon after they secured their third successive Champions League title, after beating Liverpool 3-1 in the final in Kiev.

Ever since his departure, there have been talks of Zidane replacing Deschamps, who will be leading Les Blues at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Although, Graet has denied such claims.

“Zidane can sign in Juventus tomorrow, I don’t know anything,” he told RMC.

“You were surprised, me too, but don’t create a debate ‘Didier-Zizou’, it’s not serious.

“We start the World Cup with Didier. He signed a contract at least until 2020. And fortunately! Imagine if I didn’t do that… It’s better to be totally secure, the problem is not there now.

“There will not have any talks with him [Zidane] in the coming year. If I see him, we can talk of course, but the Deschamps is here until 2020 or even beyond.”

France meanwhile, have been drawn in Group C, alongside Australia, Peru and Denmark, in the upcoming tournament.
