According to Mbappé, he’s doing everything he can to convince Deschamps not to coach elsewhere:

"I hope he won’t coach another national team at the World Cup... I’m putting pressure on him.

There were rumors in the press about Italy and so on…

That would be bad." Mbappé stated.

Earlier reports revealed that Didier Deschamps will step down as head coach of the French national team, with former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane set to take over.
