The death of Didier Deschamps’ mother has deeply affected the French national team during the 2026 World Cup. According to RMC Sport, the France manager addressed his squad on Tuesday morning in Boston during an especially emotional moment.
France will have to face Erling Haaland and Norway without their head coach on the touchline. Didier Deschamps has returned to France following his mother’s passing and will miss the match. Despite this difficult situation, he reportedly urged his players to continue their journey with the same determination, a message that left a strong impression on the squad.
France Rally Behind Their Coach
After hearing from their manager, the players spent a long time speaking among themselves. One feeling clearly emerged within the group: defeat Norway on Friday, not only to maintain their momentum but also to show their support for Deschamps.
The French dressing room has been deeply affected by the news, with players and staff united behind their coach during this challenging period. The emotional atmosphere has strengthened the team’s resolve ahead of the final group-stage fixture.
While Deschamps is away with his family, assistant coach Guy Stéphan will take charge of the team from the bench for the upcoming match against Norway.
