France coach 3rd person to win WC as both player and manager

After leading France to victory in 2018 FIFA World Cup, France coach Didier Deschamps became only the third person to win the trophy as both a player and manager. The 49-year-old ex-midfielder was France's captain when they won their first-ever WC in 1998. Germany's Franz Beckenbauer and Brazil's Mario Zagallo are the other two persons to achieve the feat.
