Del Bosque: 'Euro 2016 should be in France'

Spain manager Vicente del Bosque has said that next summer's Euro 2016 tournament should not be moved from France after the terrorist attacks in Paris.

At least 129 people were killed and 99 were left in a critical condition following a series of coordinated attacks that took place in the French capital on November 13.

"I would like the Euros to be played in France which is the chosen country and nothing should disturb the decisions to play in a country," Del Bosque told reporters.

"I think that change would be in line with what the terrorists want."

Spain will head into the European Championship hoping to defend their title for the third successive tournament.
