The lack of consideration given to French technicians by the big names in Ligue 1 has the gift of annoying the French coach.
The coaches’ waltz has already started in Ligue 1. Four days will have been enough to condemn Laurent Blanc. Less than a year after his arrival on the bench of Les Gones, the former world champion was in fact sacked and should be replaced by Gennaro Gattuso, whose last experience at the head of Valencia ended in a resounding failure .
And previously, he did not fully convince on the bench of AC Milan or Naples, where he nevertheless won the only coronation of his coaching career: an Italian Cup. However, on the good advice of the omnipresent Jorge Mendes, John Textor decided to set his sights on the former Rossoneri barker. The arrival of the native of Calabria will further swell the contingent of foreign coaches, who have taken over the big names of Ligue 1 since the Spaniards Luis Enrique and Marcelino have landed at OM, the Austrian Adi Hutter in Monaco and the Italian Frances Farioli in Nice. A situation which is not without irritating Didier Deschamps.
“ Yes I regret it, deeply, because I find that the French coach is not valued. I do not criticize and do not allow myself to judge the competence of foreign coaches. Does this come from more foreign owners? Possible. These are technicians who don’t know Ligue 1, don’t speak French, but looking back, I find that a lot of credit is given to a foreign coach, so with a Frenchman, the analysis is more radical. It is an observation », He confided in the columns of Le Figaro.
