Deschamps, 51, who took office in the summer of 2012 and expires after the European Cup 2020, will be announced a decision to extend his contract later Wednesday in a press conference in his presence alongside the President of the Federation Noel Logret.
Deschamps led the French national team to his first World Cup title in 1998 as a midfielder and then the second in Russia 2018 as a coach.
Deschamps, who has coached Monaco, Juventus and Marseille at club level, is only the third man to taste World Cup glory as both player and coach after Mario Zagallo and Franz Beckenbauer. Only the German and the Frenchman achieved the feat as captain.
