Didier Deschamps leaves France squad, the "roosters" coach loses a dear man

France coach Didier Deschamps

French national team coach Didier Deschamps received sad news this Tuesday morning, after his mother, Ginet Deschamps, passed away.

Due to this family loss, Deschamps will not lead the team's training session in preparation for the match against Norway. He will also be absent from the bench for Friday's match, valid for the final match of Group I.

According to the announcement, the coach of the world runner-up will return to France to attend his mother's funeral.

With the agreement of the president of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo, who is currently with the team, the temporary management of the team has been entrusted to Deschamps' assistant, Guy Stéphane.

The French Football Federation immediately expressed its support for the Blues coach at this difficult moment. Meanwhile, the French national team, which returned from Philadelphia to Boston after the victory over Iraq, held its next training session on Tuesday afternoon at the Bentley University facilities.
