The Les Bleus head coach has no plans to move into club management and wants to see the Chelsea star awarded the top individual prize in football
Didier Deschamps has opened the door to extending his contract with France, while adding to the calls for N'Golo Kante to win the 2021 Ballon d'Or.
Deschamps is currently preparing Les Bleus for this summer's European Championships, where they will be aiming to go one better than their appearance in the 2016 final.
The 52-year-old is into the ninth year of his reign in charge of the national team but only has 12 months remaining on his current deal, and hopes to be offered fresh terms after overseeing their latest major tournament.
