Didier Deschamps gives himself a deadline as France coach

Didier Deschamps has confirmed that he will leave his post as coach of the French national soccer team in 2026.

The coach spoke about it in an interview with TF1, believing he has "had his time" at the helm of the Blues, which he led to the title of world champions in 2018.

"It" will be 2026. I have been here since 2012, I have planned until 2026 … the next World Cup" becauseé "it has to end at some point. In my head è very clear", said the 56-year-old technician.

Deschamps will therefore end his tenure after the World Cup organized in the United States, Canada and Mexico, a tournament for which France has not yet qualified.
