And he could remain at the helm for even longer as the French do a bit of soul searching following Monday’s defeat to Switzerland.
Despite falling behind, the world champions were 3-1 up with ten minutes to go.
But Switzerland managed to score twice to send the game to extra time, before an additional stalemate resulted in penalties.
With Switzerland 5-4 up, it was on star man Kylian Mbappe to keep the French dream alive.
However, the PSG ace fluffed his effort, resulting in France crashing out of the tournament despite being strong favourites.
It has now been claimed that a bitter squad division emerged before a ball was even kicked.
L’Equipe says Mbappe and Olivier Giroud fell out.
And a number of others were fed up with Mbappe’s ‘sulking’ attitude around the camp.
While 1998 World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit took aim at Paul Pogba, claiming the Man Utd star ‘lost the plot’.
But Deschamps will get the opportunity to repair his damaged national side, who stormed to World Cup glory in Russia just three years ago.
And with 18 months to go until Qatar 2022, there is plenty of time for reflection across the Channel.
