The coach of the France team, Didier Deschamps, learned on Tuesday of the death of his father and joined his family "with the agreement of the president of the" French Football Federation, announced the FFF.
“It is with great sadness that I learned of the disappearance of Didier's father this morning, wrote Noël Le Graët in a press release.
Didier went to join his family and I assure him of all my friendship and my support in this ordeal.
It was his deputy Guy Stéphan who led the training of the France team on Tuesday afternoon, which is preparing its four League of Nations matches in June.
Deschamps returned to his native Basque Country.
We do not yet know if he will be on the bench for the Blues who receive Denmark at the Stade de France on Friday.
