Didier Deschamps bidding to become second manager to win two World Cups

Didier Deschamps will look to become the second manager to win two World Cups when France face Argentina in Sunday's final.

Didier Deschamps will attempt to become only the second manager to win two World Cups when France face Argentina in the final on Sunday.

Deschamps has been heavily involved in France's previous two World Cup wins, playing a role as a player and a coach.

The 54-year-old captained his country to their first-ever World Cup trophy in 1998 courtesy of a 3-0 win over Brazil in the final of their home tournament.

Twenty years later, Deschamps oversaw a 4-2 final victory against Croatia that ensured France became the world champions for the second time.

After enjoying success in Russia four years ago, Deschamps now has the chance to become the second man to win two World Cups as a manager.

Vittorio Pozzo was the only other man to achieve the feat after he guided Italy to glory in 1934 and 1938.

Only Helmut Schon - who managed West Germany from 1964 to 1978 - has won more World Cup games (16) than the 14 victories that Deschamps has overseen as France boss.

Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris also has the chance to write his name into the history books, as does Kylian Mbappe, who will be aiming to break a goalscoring record in Sunday's final.
