In a poignant moment for French football, Didier Deschamps is set to step down as the national team's manager after Saturday's third-place playoff against England. The 54-year-old tactician has been at the helm since 2012 and led the team to a historic World Cup title in 2018, where they defeated Croatia 4-2 in the final. After a decade of service, Deschamps will bring an end to an illustrious tenure that has seen him guide France to numerous international successes, including a UEFA Nations League title and a World Cup runners-up finish in 2022. As the French team looks to rebuild and regroup, Deschamps' departure marks the beginning of a new chapter for French football.
