BGFrench coach Didier Deschamps returned to the World Cup team after attending his mother's funeral, delivering an emotional speech before the first knockout stage match against Sweden. In a video posted on the team’s Instagram account, he reflected on the challenges of competing at the highest level, emphasizing that each match could be their last. France, led by captain Kylian Mbappé and other stars, won all three group matches and are strong favorites for the title. Deschamps missed the final group match against Norway due to his mother’s passing, but the team still advanced under assistant coach Giorgio Chiellini. This will be Deschamps’ last tournament as head coach, with Zinedine Zidane expected to take over. He guided France to titles in 2018 and 2022, though they lost the latter on penalties to Argentina. The two teams could meet again in the final on July 19th, potentially marking Deschamps' third World Cup victory—a fitting farewell after 14 years leading the team.
