Didier Deschamp's appointment as the head coach of the French football team has been a revelation since 2012, as he was able to completely resurrect the national squad, taking them all the way to the Euro 2016 finals and winning the FIFA World Cup two years later.

However, he hasn't been able to do it all on his own, as with the help of his former Marseille colleague and assistant manager Guy Stephan, the duo was able to do more to French football than expected.

From focusing on the development of youth and forging the likes of Paul Pogba and Antoine Greizmann, Deschamps and Stephan haven't fallen apart in any means.

While Stephan lays down the tactical suggestions, it is Deschamps who executes it and makes sure that the job gets done.

Opportunities are what French football is really about, and every single player has had it, thanks to the duo!
