Didier Deschamps has not ruled out coaching France one day but is happy to concentrate on trying to bring Juventus back to Serie A for the time being.

"Maybe, yes," the former World Cup-winning France captain told L'Equipe when asked whether he might coach France.

"Maybe one day I would like to coach France but for the moment, that's not what I want to do," he said.

"I'm only interested in the very high level," he added. "I'm not interested in being a coach just for the sake of it."

Juventus were demoted to the second division after being implicated in a match-fixing scandal.

"Coaching Juve is always going to be difficult, whether in Serie A or in Serie B," Deschamps said.

"It's a year of purgatory and sacrifices for the players and they know it.

"For me, personally, this is not a purgatory. It's an experience, something different. Obviously, I would prefer to be fighting for the Serie A title but I'm not a Serie B coach, I'm the Juventus coach."

Well that can't be all that bad either, I mean he has the honour of being picked to be the Juventus coach in Serie B, an honour even the likes of Trappattoni and Lippi didn't have. :wink:

Where´s that plan?:smoke:
I think it's about keeping Camoranesi, Trezeguet and Buffon for next season. And building from players like Paro and Palladino, who also have Serie A experience. He wants to add to the squad, but not with too many or any French. He wants to keep it Italian.

Yes we do but I can't be bothered merging them, it doesn't matter anyway, someone will complain at my decision in the end.
