the incredible record that Didier Deschamps can break at Euro 2024

The moment of truth is approaching for the France team. Monday June 17 (9 p.m.) in Düsseldorf, the Blues will face Austria on the first day of the group stage of the 2024 European Championship (a meeting to follow live on Foot-National). If the Tricolores win the competition, Didier Deschamps will enter football history by becoming the first to win the World Cup and the Euro as a player (1998, 2000) and coach (2018, and therefore 2024 if the Blues prevail). On the other hand, the former coach of Olympique de Marseille does not want to think about it.

“It’s not a motivation for me,” he told German media Bild on Monday. “I’m not in this world to chase records and become unique. It’s about the French team. And the greatest credit for success always goes to the players, they are on the pitch.” “I still have the same desire, the same passion and the same determination,” he assures. “If that were no longer the case, I would stop immediately and do something else. Expectations are very high. We are 2018 world champions and 2022 world vice-champions. We have the potential and the ambition to win the title but a Euro is very demanding A look at the Fifa ranking proves it.
