FFF to decide Domenech's future today
11/7/2006 14:47
The French Football Federation (FFF) will hold a meeting later today to
decide whether Raymond Domenech should stay on as coach of the national team
following the country's World Cup final defeat.
France lost to Italy in the
penalty shoot-out in the World Cup final on Sunday and some fans have called for
the unpopular Domenech to be sacked.
But FFF officials will debate his future
in a meeting without the coach today.
"Tomorrow, the question of the
extension of Raymond Domenech's contract will be discussed, that has been the
plan for a long time," said an official.
Domenech's current contract is due
to run out on July 31 but he is not planning on hanging around to hear the
verdict.
"I have first decided to go on holiday. The federal council will
meet Tuesday and the president will tell you what he has decided," said Domenech
just after the final defeat.
"For now I am overcome by disappointment and my
opinion (on my future) has no consequence whatsoever."
