France at the World Cup Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, makes a plea regarding Didier Deschamps' contract.
After leading his nation to back-to-back World Cup finals, Didier Deschamps has been pushed to receive a new contract by French Football Federation president Emmanuel Macron.
At the conclusion of the competition, Deschamps' current contract, which was signed in 2019, will expire.
The former captain of France is one of only a select few people in history to have won the World Cup in both roles, and on Sunday, he has a chance to become the first men's team coach to win back-to-back championships since Vittorio Pozzo, who led Italy to victory in 1934 and 1938.

"Compared to an hour and a half ago, I feel substantially better. Although we occasionally struggled, we have witnessed a really talented team, he continued.
Thank you so much to our coach Didier Deschamps and the entire team, which is in fact a blend of different generations, which is fantastic.
