FFF chief keen to keep Deschamps
A day after Kylian Mbappe returned to work at Paris Saint-German, Brazilians Neymar and Marquinhos reported to the club’s training centre on Thursday, according to PSG’s social networks. They “are back at the Training Center!”, the club tweeted, 13 days after Brazil’s penalty shoot-out elimination against Croatia in the World Cup quarter-finals. Photo: TWITTER
The French Football Federation (FFF) president Noel Le Graet said in an interview published on Thursday he wants France coach Didier Deschamps, whose current contract expires at the end of the year, to remain in the post.
Deschamps, 54, led Les Bleus to the World Cup final on Sunday, where they lost in a penalty shoot-out to Argentina, after guiding them to the trophy four years ago.

"In my opinion we will settle it in Guingamp," Le Graet told newspaper Ouest-France. "If he doesn't want to stay, it will be short. If he wants to stay then there will be discussions that are a little longer."
