Didier Deschamps has become the fourth manager to lead his team to a World Cup final after playing in one as a player.
Deschamps was known as the water carrier as France reached won the 1998 World Cup on home soil. And on Tuesday he managed his nation to a 1-0 win against Belgium.
That means his side will take on either Croatia or England in Sunday's final in Moscow.
The 49-year-old is not the first man to achieve the feat of playing and managing in a final, however.
Franz Beckenbauer, Rudi Voller, Zagallo also achieved these feat with West Germany(Twice) and Brazil
