New Lille Manager Confirms Assistant France Coaches Role

As the new manager of Lille, Jean-Michel Aulas has confirmed that he will be appointing former France national team coach Didier Deschamps as his assistant.

Deschamps is no stranger to coaching at a high level, having previously managed France at both senior and under-21 levels. He also won two World Cups with the French national team in 1998 and 2018.

Aulas is clearly excited about bringing Deschamps on board, saying: "I am very pleased to have been able to bring back Didier Deschamps to Lille. His experience, knowledge and passion for football make him the ideal person to help me take the club forward."

Deschamps' appointment comes just days after Aulas was appointed as the new president of Lille. The pair worked together successfully at Paris Saint-Germain, where Deschamps was a player before becoming a coach.

Aulas has stated that he wants to build a strong squad at Lille, with the aim of competing for major honours next season. With Deschamps on board, it seems likely that Aulas will be able to achieve this goal.

In addition to Deschamps, Aulas has also confirmed that he plans to bring in a number of experienced players during the summer transfer window. This will be a key part of his plan to rebuild the squad and compete for success at the top end of European football.

Overall, Aulas' decision to appoint Deschamps as his assistant is a smart move that shows his commitment to building a successful team at Lille. With Deschamps's experience and expertise, it looks like Aulas will be able to turn Lille into a serious contender for major honours in the coming years.
