On Tuesday evening, the French Football Federation announced some very bad news in a statement. It concerns the death of the mother of Didier Deschamps, the head coach of the French national team. He is leaving the Bleus training camp in the United States and returning to France for the funeral. He will miss the next few days of training and the match against Norway this Friday on Matchday 3 of the World Cup.
We can only offer our condolences to Didier Deschamps and wish him strength during this very difficult time. The players and staff of Les Bleus can be counted on to support their coach and show great unity. For the match, he will be replaced by his assistant, Guy Stéphan.
