After achieving the goal set by Noël Le Graët during the World Cup, i.e. reaching the semi-finals, Didier Deschamps had the chance to remain in charge of the French team. The main issue was the length of the extension: while an option would have been to continue the lease until Euro 2024, Deschamps got a commitment until July 2026 and the next World Cup. The FFF made the news official in a statement issued on Saturday - FILE - Didier Deschamps, GQ French Manager of the decade, attending the GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2018 at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, France on November 26, 2018.
