Taxed as a liar by journalist Daniel Riolo, France national team coach Didier Deschamps has decided to file a complaint against his accuser.
The announcement was made by the lawyer of the French technician. ” Didier Deschamps has no problem with criticism, even acerbic, but there he is attacked on his probity, his honesty. Mr. Riolo calls him a manipulator, a liar, these are unbearable words“, said Isabelle Wekstein, to AFP, even referring to a “permanent relentlessness”.

Also known for having collaborated with Deschamps on the airwaves of RMC after the 2006 World Cup but also for the short experience of Deschamps on the bench of Juventus (2006-2007), Daniel Riolo must answer for his accusations. Indeed, a few weeks after the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Riolo made “unbearable” remarks.
Daniel Riolo accused Didier Deschamps of having lied about his management of Karim Benzema, deprived of competition due to a thigh injury. ” Deschamps lied to us from A to Z, but lying is something he handles perfectly“, he had declared.
