Zidane must wait. Didier Deschamps has officially renewed his contract with France until 2026. The French Football Federation has announced the continuation of cooperation with the current coach.
With Deschamps in charge, the Roosters won the 2018 World Cup in Russia and were named world runners-up at Qatar 2022, after losing on penalties in the final to Argentina.
Deschamps took charge of France in 2012. His contract ended with the World Cup in Qatar, but shortly after, the leaders of the French Federation announced that they had reached an agreement on the renewal. Now everything takes official form, Deschamps will be in charge of France until the next World Cup.
In recent months there was much talk about Zinedine Zidane as a successor to Deschamps, but the team's good performance in Qatar made the management decide to continue with Deschamps.
