Who is France coach?

Didier Deschamps has earned a reputation as an icon of French football both as a player and coach. Having captained France to victory at both World Cup 1998 and EURO 2000 as a cultured defensive midfielder, Deschamps went on to enjoy successful coaching spells at Monaco, Juventus and Marseille before taking the France job. He won World Cup 2018 with Les Bleus, but has suffered the disappointment of defeats in the finals of EURO 2016 and World Cup 2022, and will be desperate to add another major title to his glittering cabinet this time around.

France key player: Kylian Mbappé

France boast an embarrassment of riches up front but the mercurial Parisian is a cut above the rest. At just 25, there’s not much left for him to achieve in the game yet a EURO trophy is certainly one of those objectives. Destructive, powerful, omnipotent… the mere mention of Mbappé's name strikes fear into opponents. Since taking the armband following Hugo Lloris's retirement, the former Monaco youth has grown in stature and assumed responsibilities with aplomb. Expect him to challenge for both the Golden Boot and Player of the Tournament.

France one to watch: Warren Zaïre-Emery

A revelatory figure for Paris this season, Zaïre-Emery became, at 17, the youngest player to appear and score for France since 1914 when fielded against Gibraltar in November. Possessing physicality, professionalism and tactical maturity beyond his years, the Parisian could use this tournament as a springboard and become a fixture at the heart of the French midfield.
