France manager Didier Deschamps makes the cover of The National Sport on Friday, June 10, 2016 as he puts his charges through their final training session at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis ahead of Friday's opening match of Euro 2016 against Romania.

Ian Hawkey writes that Deschamps, who enjoyed success as captain of his country as a player, anchoring the team to World Cup glory on home soil in 1998 and again at the European Championship two years later, must unite his countrymen and his squad if the team are to repeat their success of winning the Euros on home soil as they did in 1984.
