#6 Didier Deschamps
Current France boss Didier Deschamps was once disparagingly dubbed a ‘water carrier’ by Eric Cantona, who was left cool by the midfielder’s methodical, almost mechanic approach to the game.

What Cantona saw as a weakness, though, others saw as a strength.
Deschamps remains the youngest captain ever to lift the Champions League trophy when he helped Marseille to the title in 1992-93, but after the Ligue 1 side were relegated after it was discovered several opponents had been bribed in a vital league match, he moved to Juventus.
Serie A suited his tactical approach to the match and he became a legend in Turin. Juve’s peak matched that of Deschamps, who helped them to three successive Champions League finals, winning the 1995-96 edition.
On the international stage, he was a member of the great side that won both the World Cup of 1998 and the European Championship two years later – the first side to win a Euros as world champions.
