France is entering the end of a cycle after this World Cup final loss against Argentina. The Blues still don’t know who will be their manager at next March’s meet, as Didier Deschamps has yet to announce whether he will continue in charge of the Blues. Another question remains: that of the captain. Hugo Lloris also did not indicate anything about his future in the French team. But at 35 he could give young players a chance, both in goal and also for the captain’s armband.
Maignan starter, Mbappé captain?
Should the former Olympique Lyonnais and OGC Nice player ever retire from international football, he will likely be replaced in goal by Mike Maignan, who is impressive for Milan. The player trained at PSG and champion of France with LOSC is waiting for his moment. There is another who is waiting to be able to take on more responsibilities – once again – with the blue shirt, it is Kylian Mbappé. In fact, according to information from L’Equipe, the Paris Saint-Germain striker could take over the captaincy in March in the event of Hugo Lloris’ departure. A way to establish himself a little more as the leader of this team that he led during the World Cup, especially finishing as top scorer in the competition.
