Marseille manager Didier Deschamps says he will not comment on his future at the club until the end of the season.

Deschamps has endured a tough few months as head coach at the French club, but tasted success at the weekend when he led the club to triumph in the Coupe de la Ligue final with a 1-0 victory over Lyon. The former France international has been linked with a move away from Le Championnat, with some reports even suggesting that he is being lined up by Chelsea chairman Roman Abramovich as the club's next permanent manager. But Deschamps has refused to fan the flames of speculation and has asked reporters to allow him to enjoy his recent triumph and focus on leading the club to a successful finish in the league, following a dismal run of form that has seen them win just once game in their last eight Ligue 1 outings. "My future? I don't want to talk about it, let me enjoy this moment," he said. "At the end of the season we'll see. I have won six titles in three years, and nobody can take this away from me." Deschamps joined Marseille as manager in 2009, following coaching spells at Juventus and Monaco.
