Is Didier Deschamps' job in danger? France manager's future clarified by FFF president after failed Euro 2024 campaign

The 2018 World Cup-winning manager's future as France boss has come under scrutiny after Les Bleus crashed out of the Euro 2024 semi-final on Tuesday after losing to Spain 2-1. Randal Kolo Muani handed his team the lead early in the match but Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo's strikes in quick succession allowed La Roja to clinch the tie and reach the final of a European Championship for the first time since 2012.

With the French side failing to win yet another major competition despite being one of the pre-tournament favourites, Deschamps' performance as France's head coach has been questioned. However, Diallo confirmed that the 55-year-old will continue in his office at least until the end of his contract which runs until 2026.

Speaking to L'Equipe, Diallo said, "I don't see any reason to question his contract. The past results speak in his favour and the objectives have been achieved. Didier will continue his mission. We will talk together in the coming days to analyse in more depth what we lacked during this semi-final and what would have allowed us to go higher."

The two-time World Cup winners will be back in action in September when they are scheduled to face Italy and Belgium in back-to-back Nations League clashes.
