​France boss Deschamps open to new contract

France coach Didier Deschamps is open to signing a new contract with the national team.

The 52-year-old has spent the past nine years in charge of Les Bleus, helping them to World Cup glory in 2018.

Now he is hoping to improve on their final appearance at Euro 2016 by winning the 2020 edition of the tournament.

"I may continue after 2022 with the agreement of my president," Deschamps told RTL.

"People have to want to keep me and for that you need results. I will do something else at some point, but I am thriving in this role of manager.

"I have a contract until December 2022, but today I am not thinking of becoming a club coach. I am very happy, all the conditions are met."
