France endured their worst tournament during Didier Deschamps tenure as the head coach of the national team.
Deschamps replaced Laurent Blanc in July 2012 and has won the FIFA World Cup and finished as runner-up.
In European Championships, France finished as runner-up in 2016, was eliminated in penalty shootout against Switzerland at the quarter finals in 2020 and Spain beat Les Blues in the semi-finals in Euro 2024.
Didier Deschamps wll go down in history as one of the most successful coaches in the history of French football.
Many has been wondering whether Deschamps is still the right man for the job or not after the miserable performance in Germany.
Philippe Diallo, the president of the French Football Federation, says there is “no reason” to question Didier Deschamps’ future as the head coach of the national team.
“I don’t see any reason to question his contract. Past results speak in his favour and the objectives have been achieved. Didier will continue his mission,” Phillipe Diallo told L’Equipe.
“We’re going to be talking to each other over the next few days to analyse in greater depth what we lacked during this semi-final and what would have enabled us to go further.
“During this month, I’ve seen a lot of professionalism and a quest for excellence. We need to keep the French team moving in this direction.”
Per Diallo’s words, Didier Deschamps may continue as the head coach of the French national team.
