Didier Deschamps will step down as head coach of the French national football team following the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Reports confirm that Deschamps, who has led the team since 2012, will not seek to extend his contract regardless of the team’s performance. His tenure includes a World Cup victory in 2018, but recent criticisms followed a disappointing Euro 2024 semi-final loss to Spain.
