Didier Deschamps, coach of the France team since 2012, spoke about his future at the end of his contract in July 2026.
Didier Deschamps is one of the most successful coaches in the history of French football. Coach of the France team since 2012, he won the World Cup in 2018 and reached two finals, in 2014 and 2022.
“I will not continue for the sake of continuing”
At the end of his contract with the French Football Federation in July 2026, Deschamps will have the opportunity to return to the helm of a club. Questioned on this subject, the coach left doubt.
“Yes, from the moment I have already done it,” he replied in the columns of Nice-Matin. But I don’t ask myself that question today. I don’t know what tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will bring. I have a great privilege, it is to have the freedom to choose. »
The Bayonnais also mentioned the possibility of ending his coaching career. “Stopping, is that a possibility? It will happen at some point. I know that I have a very desirable position, that’s normal, it’s a high level. If I have less passion, desire, determination, I will not continue to continue. »
It remains to be seen whether Deschamps will still have the motivation to take over a club after spending more than ten years at the head of the France team.
