Didier Deschamps said Friday that no tears will be shed as he prepares to take charge of his final France match in the World Cup third-place play-off against England.
The 57-year-old coach has enjoyed a successful reign, winning the World Cup in 2018 and reaching the final in Qatar four years ago, having also won it as a player in 1998.
His talented team were favourites to win a third World Cup for France at the 2026 tournament but lost 2-0 to European champions Spain in the semi-finals.
That means Les Bleus will face England in Miami on Saturday after the Three Lions lost to defending champions Argentina.
“I know that the final curtain falls tomorrow,” Deschamps said at his pre-match press conference on Friday.
