Didier Deschamps Wins FIFA Best men's coach
France's Didier Deschamps won the award for the best men's coach in 2018.
The former Marseille, Juventus and Chelsea midfielder captained his country as they won the World Cup in 1998, before guiding them to victory again in Russia in July.
Deschamps won the trophy ahead of former club and international team-mate Zinedine Zidane - who won his third successive Champions League title before resigning as Real Madrid manager - and Croatia manager Zlatko Dalic, whose side lost to France in a thrilling final in Moscow.
"I would like to thank Zinedine Zidane and Zlatko Dalic. They are both winners," said the French manager.
"We are nothing without our players. I would like to thank the whole team. They worked hard to get me here tonight."
