Didier Deschamps will no longer be the coach of the French national team after the 2026 World Cup. The 56-year-old coach has announced that he will not renew his contract with the Roosters and his adventure in next year's World Cup will be his last at the helm of the French national team.
At the helm of the Roosters, Didier Deschamps has recorded several successes, but the most important was the 2018 World Cup where the French defeated Croatia 4-2 in the final and won for the second time in history, but without forgetting the two finals lost in Euro 2016 and the 2022 World Cup.
Deschamps wants to end his time with the French national team in the best possible way. The next task is the Nations League in mid-March where the Roosters will face Croatia in the quarter-finals and, of course, the ambitions are to repeat the success of 2021, when they emerged victorious from this competition.
The 2026 World Cup is everything to Deschamp, who, if successful, would be the perfect end to the French national team.
Immediately after the confirmation, names that could be included in the "Geese" national team began to circulate.
According to reports from France, the absolute favorite to take charge of the national team is Zinedine Zidane. After leaving Real Madrid, the 52-year-old is without a team and has always expressed his desire to take charge of France.
It seems that Zidane's wish will come true in 2026, after the World Cup. Also on the list for the bench of the great national team is former striker Thierry Henry, who has left a good taste in the Federation, after leading France to the Olympics.
