France coach Didier Deschamps hailed his side's "wonderful" World Cup victory after a 4-2 victory over Croatia in yesterday's final at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium.

Deschamps, 49, becomes only the third man to win the World Cup as both a player and a coach after leading France to their maiden title in 1998 as captain. "It's so beautiful, so wonderful," Deschamps told French TV channel TF1.
