France head coach Didier Deschamps announced that he will leave the team in 2026.

The specialist spoke about this in a short excerpt, which will be shown on French television later today.

" I have been working with the national team since 2012, the contract runs until 2026, until the next World Cup. And then that’s it, at some point you have to finish. A clear decision has matured in my head.

I carry out my work with constant desire and passion to ensure that the French national team maintains the highest level. But 2026 is a very good time to break up.

You never want to stop when everything is beautiful, but you need to be able to say “stop”. There will be life next. I don't know what it will be like, but it will turn out very good too.
