Only one manager has ever won the World Cup twice. His name? Vittorio Pozzo. Don’t worry, you’re not expected to know the answer to that little piece of trivia. Seeing as he led Italy to global glory in 1934 and 1938, he’s just a little bit before our time for the majority.
Yet Il Vecchio Maestro (The Old Master) could soon find himself sharing this unique piece of history as France continue to chase down back-to-back World Cup wins.
In Didier Deschamps, Les Bleus already possess one of only three men to win the World Cup as both a player and as a manager in their hotseat. Captain when France won the tournament for the first time back in 1998, he oversaw their second World Cup win in Russia in 2018 - having been appointed national team manager in 2012.
