As a combative midfielder, Didier Deschamps won just about everything in a playing career that saw him captain France to the 1998 World Cup and 2000 European Championship titles, and lead Marseille to Champions League victory in 1993. He took to club management with equal success, guiding Monaco to the European Cup final in 2004 - eliminating Real Madrid and Chelsea along the way - and in his first season as Marseille coach he won the league title in 2009-10, ending the club's 18-year wait. The 45-year-old Deschamps, who made 103 international appearances, took charge of the national team after Euro 2012, replacing former France teammate Laurent Blanc. With France struggling for form, he needed to wake the team up.
