The contract of the boss of the Blues, in place since 2012, expires at the end of December.
The president of the French Federation (FFF) Noël Le Graët assured that Deschamps would have "the hand" in the event of qualification in the last four of the World Cup, which is done.
"The France team has always been the most beautiful thing that has happened to me in my professional life, in my first life as a player then as a coach. Now it's been 10 years. It's really passion, the very very high level . I am very well, very happy to be in this position", first replied the 54-year-old coach at a press conference.
But he wanted, as often, to put aside his personal case, moreover before Sunday's match (4:00 p.m.) against Argentina, his second world final as coach after that won in 2018 against Croatia.
"The most important thing has never been me but the France team. It is above everything, I have been at its service for ten years and still here for the match that awaits us tomorrow. It's nice to think about me, but it's not me that's the most important," he continued.
His future?
"I don't have that in my head or what will happen after," he evacuated, repeating that he wanted to focus all his energy on the shock to come against Lionel Messi and his partners.
