France head coach Didier Deschamps made history on Friday night after his side sealed top spot in Group I with a 4-1 win over Norway.
The game which took place at the Boston Stadium in Foxborough saw PSG forward Ousmane Dembele score a stunning hat-trick to lead his side to victory.
With that win, Deschamps became the manager with the most wins in the history of the FIFA World Cup with 17, surpassing Helmut Schon on 16 wins.
The next manager on the list is Luiz Felipe Scolari with 14, with Deschamps moving up to 77.3% win percentage in charge of Les Bleus.
However, the 57-year-old was not on the touchline for the game after he had flown to France for the funeral of his mother, although he is expected to return for their next match.
Didier Deschamps has already led France to two consecutive World Cup finals and won the tournament as a player in 1998. He now hopes to end his tenure on a high by lifting the World Cup one more time before stepping down at the end of the tournament.
