Didier Deschamps Returns to Lead France at 2026 World Cup
France’s head coach Didier Deschamps has returned to the United States following a brief absence due to a family tragedy involving the passing of his mother. On Saturday, the coach was back leading the national team’s training session under the Boston sun. Notably, Deschamps held an extended discussion with Maxence Lacroix, who started in the victorious match against Norway.
After their comprehensive win over the Scandinavian side, the French squad engaged in a light training session. Several first-team regulars remained in the gym, while the squad players worked out on the field. On Sunday, the team will begin preparations for their round of 16 clash against Sweden, before flying to New York later that evening.
