FIFA World Cup: France head coach Didier Deschamps has described winning the FIFA World Cup as football's greatest achievement, saying 'nothing beats being a world champion' as he prepares for his fourth World Cup and final tournament in charge of the team.

Speaking to FIFA ahead of the 2026 World Cup, Deschamps reflected on his remarkable journey with France, having won the trophy as captain in 1998 and as coach in 2018.

“I've been lucky enough to win trophies at club level, the Champions League and more, but nothing beats being a world champion. Your name stays the same, but two words are added forever: "world champion," Deschamps said.
