Thecuy.com, Miami — Didier Deschamps is set to conclude his 14‑year spell as France’s national‑team manager. The third‑place clash versus England at Miami on Saturday (18/7/2026) will mark his final match. Zinedine Zidane, a French football icon, is being tipped as the favourite to succeed him.

The 57‑year‑old Deschamps confirmed his resignation after France missed the final for a third straight tournament. The French side were beaten 0‑2 by Spain in the semi‑final stage. During his tenure he has secured one FIFA World Cup (2018), guided France to the 2022 World Cup final and the 2016 European Championship semi‑final.

“I have been fortunate enough to live through both magical moments and tough times. Yet life moves on. I’m an optimist, and I know things will work out. It’s the best thing that has ever happened to me,” Deschamps told reporters before the fixture.

Zinedine Zidane, who lifted three UEFA Champions League crowns with Real Madrid, is expected to be unveiled shortly as the new boss by the French Football Federation. The 1998 World Cup and 2000 European Championship winner formed a midfield partnership with Deschamps for France.

The clash with England will serve not only as a farewell to Deschamps but also as a stage for Kylian Mbappé to pursue the World Cup top‑scorer record. After netting five goals to date, the French forward remains in the hunt for the Golden Boot.

This match is a replay of the 2022 World Cup quarter‑final, where France triumphed, and it will see them face England, who were also denied a final appearance by a narrow 1‑2 loss to Argentina.
