Austria coach Marcel Koller celebrated his side's qualification for Euro 2016 by wearing a beret and eating a baguette in a post-match press conference. 

Martin Harnik scored twice as Austria qualified for the finals of the European Championship for the first time by thrashing Sweden 4-1 on Tuesday. 

And after sealing their spot in next summer's tournament, which takes place in France, Koller attended the press conference wearing a French-inspired costume.

The 54-year-old posed for photographs while eating a big mouthful of bread and appeared to dip the baguette into a cup of soup.

Harnik netted a goal in each half, David Alaba chipped in a first-half penalty and Marc Janko also got on the scoresheet before Zlatan Ibrahimovic grabbed a late consolation for Sweden. 

The Austrian players - waving flags and sporting T-shirts saying 'France, we're coming' - ran to celebrate with the thousands of travelling fans, shaking hands and singing long after the final whistle.

Koller's Austria side meet Montenegro and Liechtenstein in their final two qualifying games of the campaign.
