France coach Deschamps has another renamed stadium in World Cup honor

PARIS, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- French national football team head coach Didier Deschamps has got a second stadium named after him following triumph at the 2018 FIFA World Cup with Les Bleus.

Deschamps already had one named after him in his hometown Bayonne.

Stade Marquet in Cap d'Ail, southern France, adjacent to Ligue 1 club Monaco's home Stade Louis II, was renamed into Stade Didier Deschamps following Wednesday's ceremony, attended by Deschamps, Prince Albert II of Monaco and nearly 500 people.

Deschamps felt it "a huge honor" for himself and his family.

Two decades after winning the World Cup with France as a player, Deschamps guided the team to glory again this summer in Russia.
