His detractors will be happy about it. After 14 years at the head of the French team, Didier Deschamps should end his collaboration with the Blues at the end of his contract in 2026. Nevertheless, he intends to continue the adventure until the next World Cup in the event that he and his men manage to qualify.
Indeed, for the moment, the Blues are not guaranteed to participate in the next World Cup which will take place in North America. In the event that France does not take part in the competition scheduled for 2026, the France coach could end his duties earlier than expected.
