Didier Deschamps will remain at the helm of the French national team whatever happens from now on at the World Cup it was confirmed by federation president Noel Le Graet.
The former international player has been criticed for the team's play so far in the tournament and the availability of Zinedine Zidane has led to rumours that a change could be in store.
"The contracts have been signed, he signed until 2002 and so he will be here until then whatever happens," said Le Graet.
France's game against Argentina will be Deschamps' 80th in charge and set a new record after overcoming the 79 matches that Raymond Domenech had as coach.
Le Graet has targetted the semi finals for the France team.
"The World Cup starts now and we are ready," he added.

That is a good way of getting the pressure off a coach and getting the best out of him.Although France have very good players that can get the winnings for the team with little effort from the coach but with no pressure, the coach will be able to do his work efficiently. And it will earn him respect from the players.This is their chance to win a trophy after agonizingly losing to Portugal in Euro 2016.
