According to French media outlet L’Équipe, despite France’s failure to reach the final of this year’s European Championship, French Football Federation president confirmed that Deschamps will not be sacked for this and will continue to lead the team to the 2026 World Cup.
In the early hours of this morning, France lost 1-2 to Spain in the semi-finals of the European Championship, failing to advance further in the tournament. In the past four major tournaments, Deschamps has led France to the finals three times. In terms of results, Deschamps’ performance is still commendable. However, in this European Championship, France’s performance has been criticized from the first group match. It was not until this semi-final that France finally scored their first goal from open play in the tournament. Therefore, rumors about Deschamps’ resignation after the European Championship have been circulating.
In the face of questions from fans and the media, French Football Federation president Diallo gave everyone reassurance in an interview with L’Équipe. He said: “Deschamps’ contract does not expire until 2026, and he has already achieved the sporting goals we set for him. I see no need for his contract to be jeopardized. His past achievements speak for themselves. Deschamps will continue his mission.”
