The Bleus coach was devastated to see Euro glory slip through his team's fingers, as Eder's extra-time strike decided the final in the Stade de France
France head coach Didier Deschamps found it tough to describe the disappointment at losing the Euro 2016 final to Portugal on Sunday.
The host nation were beaten 1-0 at the Stade de France thanks to Eder's superb strike in the second half of extra time.
Portugal, who lost captain Cristiano Ronaldo to a knee injury in the first half, were on the defensive for much of the match, and Andre-Pierre Gignac almost snatched victory for France when he struck the inside of the post in second-half stoppage time.
