Many were surprised by the choice of Igor Tudor, a Croatian national, to replace Jorge Sampaoli at Olympique de Marseille’s bench. Pablo Longoria’s decision to hire a foreign technician was also controversial. Raymond Domenech is a strong defender of French coaches.
Former coach of the Blues, who is still on a disastrous passage of eight games on the bench at FC Nantes, did not mince words about the set of La Chaine L’Equipe.
Does that mean that a French coach can’t be an OM coach?” It’s absurd to suggest that French players are incapable of playing offensively. It’s annoying. It’s just a matter of finding someone who is competent enough to manage both the Champions League and the championship. There are many options.
The former OL player said that the new coach will not be familiar with three quarters of his squad or the championship. It can be frustrating. This is a bad sign. It is based on the profile of the person who arrives. It can be problematic depending on a number of factors.
Six coaches will officiate in Ligue 1 after the formalization of Igor Tudor’s arrival in Marseille and Christophe Galtier’s at PSG.
Sixteen out of twenty is probably too many for Raymond Domenech.
