More on Domenech keeping his job as le sélectionneur
There’s a lot of strong feeling about Domenech avoiding the axe, with some considering it an injustice. If you’ve had steam emanating from your brow, angry about Domenech keeping his job, read what Steph, at the Steph and JP blog, wrote about some of the discussions at the FFF. None of it contradicts what some of us have said about Domenech keeping his job because he’s in tight with the FFF, but it provides more context about their thinking in keeping him. If you admire an organization for not caving to public opinion, you could find yourself having a grudging respect for the FFF?

The New York Times football blog isn’t one that I read a lot, but they also have a piece on Domenech escaping the sack.

If Domenech stays, he has to change dramatically. Playing more attacking sounds good, but he should choose young, talented players and not keep selecting his old favourite team.
And by young talented players, I’m not meaning Bafetimbi Gomis, who played ridiculous. Never call him back again please, and why the heck did he not call up Trezeguet? But call Gomis instead?
The Équipe the France lacks attackers I think, if Henry and Trezeguet retire. We got Benzema and that’s it.
But we got a lot of good midfielders
(ribéry! nasri! flamini! diarra!)

I hope the federation is requiring him to call up Mexes as part of him keeping his job.

Domenech is lucky to have bosses that are this understanding. Taking a look at the body of his work and not his most recent failure. Its a gutsy move by the FFF. One that put them at odds with their fan base like the article says. A fan base they’re desperate to regain. The Escalletes press conference was one of damage control and the actions he is taking now, he probably should have taken months ago. But as Domenech believed and trusted his old guard to take him to the promise land, Escalletes gave Domenech the same encouragement. Some predicted and hoped before the Euro that France would have a poor showing so that Domenech would get canned.Now I think we all know that even if the next few matches are as stale as the Euro was, there still would be a chance he keeps his job.




ridiculous. didn’t euro 2008 teach them anything? they’re going to correct the mistake of relying on old failures by….relying on an old failure?

I hope Domenech learns from his mistakes, and will be better now. He has to let his old favourites go, though it’s hard. It’s hard to see Vieirra, Makelélé, Sagnol and maybe even Henry go. But there are a lot of young talents. But Bafetimbi Gomis has clearly proved he is not one of the young talents.
