SportsGolden era ends for Deschamps’ France as Midas touch deserts Les Bleus

France’s heavy semi-final loss to their nemesis Spain has brought a bitter conclusion to Didier Deschamps’ record-setting tenure with Les Bleus. The defeat closes a golden chapter for the French national team. Yet Deschamps will be remembered above all for guiding France to a second world title in 2018. That triumph came two decades after he captained the side to its first championship on home soil. His legacy therefore remains defined primarily by France’s historic title successes.
