It is hard to argue against the suggestion that France have the best squad in international football.
You might therefore think managing such an elite group of players is an easy task - but this is not necessarily true.
For evidence, look at the number of occasions when clubs have crumbled under the wealth of talent signed or the challenge of managing the personalities of superstars.
Since taking the France job in 2012, Didier Deschamps has continually reinvented his sides and got the most from France's huge pool of talent.
Even more impressively, he has earned a reputation for doing so mid-tournament - tweaking his system game by game to land on formulas that win the World Cup or come very close to doing so.
