French head coach Didier Deschamps is hoping to register his 100th win in charge of the team on Monday against Austria.

The 55-year-old is by some margin the most experienced coach at the tournament in Germany, with his almost 12 years in charge of Les Bleus, and brings with him impressive credentials as a player too.
