Damn right he should.

Deschamps dices with doubt
Friday 25 May, 2007
Didier Deschamps has refused to commit himself to Juventus. “I don’t know what will happen,” he said. “There are no certainties in sport…”
The Coach has led the Bianconeri back to top-flight football after a year in Serie B, but there is still some uncertainty over his future – even after talks with the outfit.
“I met with general director Jean-Claude Blanc where we spoke and we will meet again over the next days,” said Deschamps on Friday.
The tactician was reportedly offered a new deal until 2009 by Blanc, but DD is refusing to confirm or deny that whisper.
“Will I extend my contract? I don’t want to discuss the details, “ he said. “But I am not worried, we spoke as people do in any other club.
“I don’t know what will happen, but I am sure that things will be easier in July compared to last year, when everyone wanted to leave.
“Now I think we need the champions to stay and we need some new signings as well, although I will obviously accept the club’s decisions.
“Last summer I decided to come here because I thought I owed something to this outfit. I would like to stay in Serie A as well, but there are no certainties in the world of sport.”
Juventus face Mantova on Saturday and Deschamps will field his strongest side even though promotion has already been secured.
“We lost against them in our meeting earlier this season,” added the tactician. “That was one of our worst performances of the campaign.
“They need points for the play-offs, but we want to win in front of our supporters.
“I will field my best side out of respect for our opponents and because we don’t want anyone to say that we want to favour one team rather than another.”
Juventus (probable): Buffon; Zebina, Legrottaglie, Chiellini, Balzaretti; Marchionni, Zanetti, Marchisio, Nedved; Trezeguet, Del Piero

Secco and DD must have some big grudge between them. If I must choose, then I side with DD. He has done a lot for us and I have faith in his abilities. Besides, it's ridiculous that the coach can't choose which players he wants in and which he wants out. What's Secco's problem FFS?
