Didier Deschamps has officially extended his contract as coach of the French national team until the 2026 World Cup and will complete 14 years in the job.
Deschamps, whose contract expired last week, met with the president of the association, Noel Le Guerre, and the two agreed that Deschamps would get what he wanted - a contract until the next World Cup to be held in the USA, Mexico and Canada, that is, beyond what was promised to her at first.
Deschamps is undoubtedly considered the greatest coach in the history of the tricolor of all time.
Since replacing Laurent Blanc in 2012, he has managed 139 and won 89 of them.
During his tenure so far, he led his apprentices to win the World Cup in Russia in 2018, to the final of the World Cup in Qatar, in which he lost about three weeks ago and now he will hope to continue successfully in another World Cup and even before that in Euro 2024, which will be held in Germany.

The one who is likely to be disappointed by this news is Deschamps' former teammate in the French national team - Zinedine Zidane - who, according to reports, has been eagerly waiting for the job in recent years, but will now have to wait at least another 3.5 years.
