PARIS (Reuters) - France football coach Didier Deschamps will file a legal complaint against Eric Cantona after his former national teammate suggested the squad selection for Euro 2016 was racially motivated, Deschamps' lawyer said on Friday.
The two men, who played 34 times together for France, have a history of animosity since the mid-1990s when Deschamps replaced Cantona as France's captain, going on to lead the team to World Cup and European Championship successes in 1998 and 2000.
