According to sources, Laurent Blanc has already agreed in principal to take over the reigns of Les Bleus after the World Cup - Domenech's contract expires...thankfully. Good news? Time will tell. I think that the OM manager - Deschamps would still be my choice. Not that I think that the former France central defender would be a poor choice. I recognize that Blanc has turned Bordeaux back into a powerful side, winning the Ligue 1 title last season, getting out to a comfortable lead in this year's competition and finishing top of a difficult Champions League group. However I think that Deschamps still has a slight edge in terms of experience and having lived through the highs and lows of management - taking over Juventus in Serie B was not an enviable task.
While the FFF could not make a bad decision selecting either man, I wish they could make the change today and not in July.

One positive, guess what happened last time France hired a manager from Bordeaux to run the national team....Aime Jacquet 1998.
Our 2012 qualifying group is France, Romania, Bosnia, Albania, Belarus, and Luxembourg. The only real threat I see is Bosnia. And seems like we just can't push over Romania. However with a new coach I'm sure it will be quite simple. I would hope to see France get maximum points. However we'll see.
