Acherchour Warns of 'Red Flags' for Rayan Cherki After Disappointing World Cup
On RMC's 'l’After Foot', analyst Walid Acherchour voiced serious concerns about French international Rayan Cherki following a disappointing 2026 World Cup. Cherki, who plays for Manchester City, logged only 124 minutes across the tournament, starting just once against England. His limited playing time led to visible frustration, including a reported argument with coach Didier Deschamps during the third-place match and a nonchalant demeanor on the bench. Acherchour described the World Cup as a 'failure' for Cherki sportingly, noting that his behavior and lack of impact on the pitch raise 'red flags' for incoming coach Zinédine Zidane, who is expected to be appointed soon. The analyst warned that Cherki's negative frustration throughout the tournament could jeopardize his future with the French national team under new leadership.
