The mystery is total around the situation of Christophe Dugarry at M6. For Euro 2024, the 1998 world champion had taken on the role of consultant of matches broadcast by the chain (including two Blues and the final) with Xavier Domergue. M6 had finally targeted just after having multiplied the bad choices in terms of consultants for almost two decades and “Duga” already dreamed of continuing the television adventure with the 2026 World Cup in sight.
One year from the World Cup 26 organized in Canada, the United States and Mexico, Christophe Dugarry is not engaged with M6. In addition to the next two Worlds, the audiovisual group offered three Champions League finals and the absence of Dugarry for PSG-Inter (5-0), on May 31, was very curious. The polemicist of RMC (in the show Rothen ignites) has worked for live radio… from the Parc des Princes! It was Antoine Kombouaré, former player of the capital's club, suddenly was associated with Domergue with comments.
Guillaume Charles, the director general of group M6 programs, is questioned in The team And does not give any information on the identity of the consultant who will accompany Xavier Domergue to the 2026 World Cup.
A 2018 world champion instead of Dugarry?
“Already, there will probably be two teams of commentators for all meetings. But today, even if we receive a lot of requests with Hervé Beroud (Sports Director)nothing is decided concerning the device … apart from two certainties. Xavier Domergue will be our main commentator for posters. Then I can tell you that Openie Meunier will be the face of the 2026 World Cup on M6 for the magazines before and after-match, with a band around it ”explains the leader of M6.
Christophe Dugarry is never quoted by the CEO of programs and, worse than that, M6 says ” open “ has “The opportunity to bring out new faces and a new generation of experts”. The journalist of The team
Sacha Nokovitch evokes, in this interview, the 2018 world champions Raphaël Varane and Olivier Giroud. M6 would make a particularly risky bet by hiring such an inexperienced consultant. And certainly much less relevant and incisive than “Duga”.
