Domenech makes a fool of himself on social networks

Raymond Domenech made a blunder which says a lot about his aversion and contempt for foreign coaches.

Since he handed over control of the French team to Laurent Blanc in 2010, the day after the chaotic World Cup in South Africa – with the sadly memorable incident of the bus and the Knysna strikers that we know – Raymond Domenech has hardly known on a professional level other than a brief and delicate stint on the bench of FC Nantes, during the 2020-2021 season. With an unfortunate record of four draws and four defeats.

However, the former president of Unecatef (2016-2024), the union of football coaches in France, continues to regularly share his expertise on the channel L'Equipe, never missing an opportunity to denigrate foreign strategists who venture into Ligue 1. An obsession again expressed this weekend on social networks. Not without a huge blunder.

“I broke my retweet record”

Rennes again beaten at home by Brest. The De Zerbi project is not taking off, when will Stéphan return? » Saturday evening, Raymond Domenech got confused about his X account, confusing Jorge Sampaoli, the coach of Stade Rennais, with Roberto De Zerbi, who manages OM. Faced with the volley of green wood immediately received, the person responded in a light tone immediately.

It's true that I mix coaches from another world… This one, SanPaoli (sic) from Rennes and more at OM, could have been another. » This was the reaction of the former Blues coach to the discovery of his mistake. And to continue, bravado, this Sunday morning: “ Great, I broke my retweet record thanks to a coach name mistake. So on X, spreading false information has more impact than telling the truth… » From the great Domenech!
