Former Juventus boss Didier Deschamps has admitted he would like to coach in the Premier League.

The Frenchman has been out of work since stepping down as Juventus manager at the end of last season.

He is now looking to return to management and concedes he would be most excited to receive a job offer from England.

"If you want to have the most freedom to act, the best country seems to be England, where the coach can decide more on signings," Deschamps told L'Equipe.

"Spain is attractive too but Italy would be difficult as I am labelled 'Juventus'.

"It would also give me enormous pride to coach the France national team. It would be a beautiful way to come full circle after experiencing that level as a player and captain."

Deschamps has also revealed that he was approached by a couple of French clubs in the summer.

He said: "Chelsea and Valencia? I know some people at those two clubs, and there were approaches.

"There was contact with Lyon but the timing was not good after my departure from Juventus.

"I also met Lens chairman Gervais Martel."
