Deschamps has experience in a high-pressure role, guiding Juventus back into Serie A after the Italian giants were relegated in the fallout of the match-fixing scandal.

However, Deschamps resigned 10 months later and has since not been involved in a full-time football role.

As a player he guided France to the World Cup in 1998 and to the European Championships two years later in 2000.

He also won the Champions League and three Serie A titles with Juventus.

Deschamps retired in 2001 but was soon appointed coach of Monaco, helping the French club to the Champions League final in 2004.
