Didier Deschamps will leave the head of the French football team in 2026 at the end of his contract, the sports management of Radio France learned from a source close to the matter, confirming information from several media, including The Team and the Parisian. The boss of the Blues will not seek a new extension of his contract at the end of the 2026 World Cup, whatever the course of the France team.
Didier Deschamps took office in 2012, after the Euro, taking over from Laurent Blanc. His record is indisputable and his record remains unique in the annals of the French team with a World Cup won in 2018.
The coach was confirmed in his position the day after the 2024 European Championship. Despite a semi-final, this tournament left a bitter taste and the defeat against Spain (2-1), future winner, was followed by a flood of criticism on the quality of the Blues' game.
