Despite President Macron’s order for
Didier Deschamps
’ contract renewal, the French coach postpones the negotiations. He told the reporters after the final whistle:
"Even if we'd won, I wouldn't reply to that question tonight. I'm sad for my players and staff...I'll have a meeting with the president at the beginning of next year and then you'll find out.
"The squad has been facing a tricky situation...maybe that had a physical and psychological impact. But I had no concerns about the players who started. They were 100% fit but we only had four days since the last match so perhaps there is some tiredness."
