Shock for France's national team: hit by tragedy, he's travelling home from the World Cup

French football coach Didier Deschamps has withdrawn from France's upcoming World Cup match against Norway to attend his mother's funeral. The French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed that Deschamps would return home for the funeral, with assistant coach Guy Stephan stepping in as interim manager during his absence. This match is crucial for France's prestige and their battle for first place in the group stage. France secured their spot in the knockout phase after victories over Senegal and Iraq. This World Cup could be Deschamps' last with the national team, as his contract is set to expire after the tournament, with Zinedine Zidane expected to take over.
