Didier Deschamps to Step Down as France Coach After 2026 World Cup, Ending 14-Year Tenure
Jan 7, 2025, 09:11 PM
Didier Deschamps, the head coach of the French national football team since 2012, will announce on Wednesday that he will step down from his position after the 2026 World Cup, according to reports from L'Équipe and other media outlets. Deschamps, who led France to victory in the 2018 World Cup and the 2021 Nations League, has decided not to renew his contract, marking the end of his 14-year tenure. The announcement will be made during an interview on TF1's 1 PM news broadcast, alongside France's First Lady, Brigitte Macron, as part of the 'Pièces Jaunes' charity event. Deschamps' decision was made months ago, but he chose this moment to clarify his future and allow the team to focus on upcoming competitions, including the Nations League and the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
