Didier Deschamps etched his name into the history books on Sunday, achieving a milestone victory in his role as France manager. The French side secured a 1-0 victory over Austria in their opening Euro 2024 match, marking Deschamps’ 100th win at the helm of the national team.
This victory is a testament to Deschamps’ exceptional leadership and consistency, making him the most successful manager in France’s history with a single coach. The previous record of 41 wins held by Michel Hidalgo and Raymond Domenech has been surpassed by Deschamps’ impressive achievement.
Deschamps assumed the reins of the French national team on July 8, 2012, and his most notable achievement was leading France to victory in the 2018 World Cup, defeating Croatia in the final. His success as manager complements his own illustrious playing career. Deschamps, a former French international, earned an impressive 103 caps for his country and also lifted the World Cup trophy in 1998 as a player.
This milestone victory serves as a reminder of Deschamps’ enduring impact on French football and his ability to consistently deliver success on the international stage. With Euro 2024 underway, Deschamps and his team will be aiming to add another chapter to their already impressive legacy.
