France CT Didier Deschamps insists he has “no regrets” over his time at Juventus, but doesn’t rule out returning one day.
The former midfielder took over in Turin when the club was demoted to Serie B as part of the Calciopoli scandal, and guided the Bianconeri back to the top flight.
However, the Frenchman resigned after sealing the Serie B title with two rounds to spare.
“It was my choice, my error,” Deschamps explained in an interview with Tuttosport.
France CT Didier Deschamps insists he has “no regrets” over his time at Juventus, but doesn’t rule out returning one day.
The former midfielder took over in Turin when the club was demoted to Serie B as part of the Calciopoli scandal, and guided the Bianconeri back to the top flight.
However, the Frenchman resigned after sealing the Serie B title with two rounds to spare.
“It was my choice, my error,” Deschamps explained in an interview with Tuttosport.
“At that time I thought it was the right decision, but I have no regrets. You can’t live in the past, and I’m very proud of what I did as a player.
“As a Coach, I arrived in a very difficult situation in Serie B and I brought Juventus to Serie A. Both personally and from a sporting point of view it was a very positive year.
“Unfortunately it didn’t end as I’d imagined, but it was my choice.
“Why did I use the word ‘error’? At the time it was the only right choice for me, eventually you stop and think, and you reflect.
“I won’t go back to the arguments which led to me to make the decision, but I realise the world of football didn’t understand and couldn’t understand.
“I paid, because around the world people wondered why someone who took the club to Serie A would walk away. Maybe these directors received the wrong answers?
“It’s something that’s still part of my experience.”
Deschamps was then asked whether he’d ever consider returning to the Juventus bench.
“You can’t write the same story, I don’t know, it’s not possible to say. At the moment I feel great in my role as CT and I hope to do it for as long as possible.
“You can always write another story, but I can’t see into the future.”
