The coach of the French Football team should announce this Wednesday that he would leave his post at the end of the 2026 World Cup, as soon as his contract ends.
This is an earthquake on the scale of world football. Criticized and even contested in recent months, particularly during Euro 2024, Didier Deschamps will leave the France team in 2026, the date on which his contract ends.

Didier Deschamps would have made his decision several months ago but wishes to communicate it now to put an end to speculation surrounding his future. Many rumors have been circulating for several months. The former Marseille coach hopes to prepare in the best conditions for the next events: the final stages of the League of Nations and the qualifiers for the next world championship.
A world champion title and finals
In 2026, one of the most prestigious pages in the history of French football will turn. In 2012, Didier Deschamps succeeded Laurent Blanc as head of the French team. He wasted no time in working miracles by qualifying the Blues for the 2014 World Cup thanks to a memorable success against Ukraine (3-0) in which Mamadou Sakho scored twice.

The promises of the World Cup in Brazil marked the start of an era during which his team thrilled an entire country for better or for worse. The disillusionment of the Euro 2016 final lost to Portugal gave way to the triumph of the Blues, who embroidered a second star on the jersey following the success in the final of the 2018 World Cup in Russia against Croatia (4 -2).
The rest will be a little more chaotic: from the disappointment of Euro 2021 to the boring game proposed at Euro 2024, including the coronation in the Nations League in 2021.
