  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  After the Arsenal legend's brilliant coaching performance, FFF president Diallo opened up on whether he would consider the 46-year-old as a possible replacement for Deschamps as the France senior team's manager in the future.

• WHAT PHILIPPE DIALLO SAID

  Speaking to RMC Sport, the president said: "Let's not rush things. Thierry Henry, when I appointed him to this position, there were some who had doubts given what he had done previously. I had confidence in him and he is proving it. We still have one more gold medal to go for. There is still this step to take and then next year, there will be the Euro Espoirs 2025. There will be this new challenge to take up, each of the steps must be taken before talking about anything else."
