Back France but have soft spot for Spain - Fernandez

"VAN" (Sports Desk - 14.07.2026) :: Luis Fernandez is one of the most recognisable figures in French football of the past few decades. He won the UEFA EURO with France in 1984 as part of the legendary side led by Michel Platini and, after hanging up his boots, he embarked on a distinguished coaching career that included stints with Paris Saint-Germain, Athletic Club, Espanyol, Real Betis and the Israel national team.

Born in southern Spain, but raised in France, the 66-year-old still feels closely connected to both countries, which gives him a particularly fascinating perspective on the upcoming clash between the two heavyweights.
