The legendary French football player and now the captain of the French national team, Didi Deschamps, is celebrating his birthday. The Frenchman turned 56 years old.
What sets Deschamps apart is his unique accomplishment of becoming a world champion both as a player and as a coach. He joins an elite group of just three individuals—Mário Zagallo and Franz Beckenbauer—who have achieved this extraordinary milestone.
Deschamps has participated in 104 matches in the French national team, during which time he managed to score 4 goals.
