Didier Deschamps has equaled the record for most World Cup victories by a manager.
Details: France's win over Iraq marked Deschamps' 16th World Cup victory as head coach of Les Bleus, putting him level with the legendary Helmut Schön.
Deschamps now boasts 16 wins, 3 draws, and just 2 defeats at World Cups as France's head coach - a testament to the team's remarkable consistency on the sport's grandest stage.
The match against Iraq proved significant not just for the coach, but also for the team's stars. Kylian Mbappé netted a brace, while France confidently secured the result after a lengthy weather delay.
This tournament could be Deschamps' swan song as France manager, giving every new milestone added poignancy and meaning.
Reminder: Historic milestone! Mbappé becomes the first Frenchman under 30 to reach 100 caps
