World Cup-winning coach Didier Deschamps has extended his France contract until the end of the 2022 tournament in Qatar.
Deschamps took over in 2012 and led France to the Euro 2016 final before their victory at the 2018 World Cup.
The extension means the 51-year-old will become France’s longest-serving coach, surpassing Michel Hidalgo’s eight years and six months in charge.
French football president Noel Le Graet called it “logical decision”.
Le Graet previously said Deschamps’ contract would be extended if France qualified for the 2020 European Championships.
