World Cup winner as captain (1998) and manager (2018). One of 3 in history. 13+ years as manager.
Didier Deschamps is one of only three people in football history to win the World Cup as both captain and manager — winning in 1998 as France's captain and in 2018 as France's manager. He also reached the 2006 World Cup Final as manager. France's 2018 World Cup win featured Kylian Mbappé (19), Antoine Griezmann, N'Golo Kanté, Raphaël Varane, and Hugo Lloris — one of the deepest squads in tournament history. He remains the longest-serving France manager in the modern era at 13+ years.
