Former Chelsea and Tottenham head coach, Jose Mourinho, has tipped France to win this year’s European Championships.
The delayed competition will begin June 11 and end July 11. And Mourinho, while speaking to the UK Sun, said Les Bleus can field three different teams because of the talent at their disposal.
“France could make an A team, B team and C team because at the moment they have an incredible number of top players.
“When you have Kylian Mbappe on your side it’s very difficult not to win. “I cannot see any weaknesses. If I had to say one team to win it, I will say them – because the group of players is fantastic.
“They have to win it. If not, it is an unsuccessful Euros,” Mourinho said.
Also, Mourinho believes it’s now or never for England at Euro 2020 as they aim to finally win their first tournament since 1966.
Gareth Southgate’s side will have home advantage for the majority of the tournament if they go all the way as Wembley will host the semi-finals and the final.

“England is probably – with Brazil – one of the two most difficult countries to be a national coach because of what people expect from the team,” Mourinho told The Sun.
“It’s a difficult country and we expect a lot from them. Culturally, instead of support them from day one until the last day, we start immediately with some negativity around them.
“They have to be very strong emotionally to cope with that pressure. If they do that, they have a big chance. ‘The group phase is at home. The semi-finals and final is at home.”
