Les Bleus have been placed in the proverbial ‘Group of Death’ at the finals, alongside Romania. Holland and bitter rivals Italy.

Domenech has become famous over the past couple of years for his bizarre outbursts and controversial comments, most of them revolving around the Azzurri and Serie A.

The ex-Lyon boss has been relatively quiet in recent months, but he has now released his biggest statement of the year so far, by declaring that France will beat Germany in the final of the Euros.

"In the final we will play against Germany,” Domenech stated.

“And we will win the trophy.”

France’s opening game in Austria and Switzerland is against Romania, who Domenech is not taking for granted.

“The match we will play against Germany will be more delicate than the first one against Romania,” he predicted.

“They are not absolutely the team who are lacking most in our group and the initial matches are always dangerous."

If France make it through Group C, they will play one of the two qualifiers from Group D, a pool that includes Spain, Russia, Sweden and holders Greece.
