France head coach Didier Deschamps has extended his contract until June 2026, the French football federation (FFF) said in a statement on Saturday (January 7).
Deschamps’ previous contract had expired after the 2022 World Cup, where France lost to Argentina in the final on penalties in Qatar.
Under Deschamps, France won the 2018 World Cup in Russia and the 2021 Nations League. They also reached the final of the 2016 European Championship.
France are currently third in the FIFA world rankings, behind no. 1 Brazil and second-placed Argentina.
