Absent for France’s emphatic 4-1 win over Norway, Didier Deschamps will return to Les Bleus this Saturday. The coach had to travel back to France urgently this week following the death of his mother, leaving his assistant Guy Stéphan in charge for the final match of the group stage.
After a difficult week, the France coach is coming back. Despite this personal ordeal, Didier Deschamps will quickly resume control of the national team. His return to Les Bleus’ base camp in Boston comes just days before a crucial fixture: the Round of 32 clash at the 2026 World Cup against Sweden.
Les Bleus Await Their Coach
After the match, Guy Stéphan confirmed the news with emotion while speaking to M6. “We are thinking a lot about Didier, who will join us tomorrow. He will be at training with us tomorrow. We can’t wait to see him again,” said the coach’s assistant.
Buoyed by a perfect run with three wins from three matches, France will therefore have their leader back as they prepare for the knockout stage. It is a highly anticipated return for the squad, who are determined to continue their World Cup journey under Didier Deschamps.
