Paris: Didier Deschamps, head coach of France, will not be in charge of the team for their final Group I match of the 2026 World Cup against Norway on June 26th because his mother has passed away and he needs to return to France for the funeral.
According to Thai News Agency, France has appointed Deschamps' assistant, Guy St©phan, to take charge of the team on an interim basis. After two matches, both France and Norway have won their games and accumulated six points, having already qualified for the next round. However, this game is still crucial in the battle for first place in the group.
