Who Is Didier Deschamps’ Wife Claude Deschamps & How Many Kids Do They Have? All About France Manager’s Children & Family

There are very few people in soccer who made it big, both as a player and as a coach. One name that comes to mind is former legend Zinedine Zidane, but another great player hails from the same nation, France. Didier Deschamps won the 1998 World Cup as a captain and the 2018 edition as a manager, but just a Euro is missing in his coaching repertoire. Hence the ex-midfielder with his squad led by Kylian Mbappe will try to get his maiden European Championship at Euro 2024 in Germany.

But, one person who has been with Deschamps through ups and downs is his wife, Claude. Therefore, with the fans intrigued about her and Deschamps’ family, let’s delve deeper.

All you need to know about Claude Deschamps: wife of Didier Deschamps

Deschamps once said he may be a coach to the French national team, but once home, he is a family man. And that is what he cherishes with his wife Claude Antoinette initially, who was reportedly born in 1966 and hails from Concarneau, Brittany in France. However, due to her privacy, not much has been revealed about her parents, but it is well known that she had studied speech therapy.

Coming to their relationship, it had started in 1985 according to reports when Deschamps was just 17 years old and Claude was 20 and pursuing her education. This was when the 1998 World Cup winner was making his debut for Nantes FC and he was in a celebratory part of his life. However, after the arrival of his then-future wife into his life, it became more stabilized, according to him.

Later on, in 1989, they tied the knot, coinciding with his move to Olympique Marseille. Since then, the journey together has been beautiful with the arrival of their only child with whom he also celebrated the 2018 World Cup victory.
