FORMER France coach Aime Jacquet, who led the team to its sole World Cup victory, said yesterday manager Raymond Domenech should have been fired last year.
Jacquet says that Domenech should have lost his job after France's campaign at the 2008 European championship when the team failed to advance from the group stage. Instead, Domenech was kept in the post by the French football federation and struggled to qualify for next year's World Cup.
"The French federation didn't understand the nature of the job," Jacquet said. "They should have protected him from himself."
Jacquet insisted that Domenech's team "played a bad game" in its recent World Cup playoff against Ireland. France eventually went through with a contested 2-1 aggregate win. Following a 1-0 victory in Dublin thanks to Nicolas Anelka's deflected shot, France secured a 1-1 draw at home after Thierry Henry handled the ball in the lead-up to William Gallas' equalizer.
Jacquet, who led France to its maiden World Cup win in 1998 and has been a long-time supporter of Domenech, said it's time for him to explain the team's poor run.
"He should explain what happened and, more generally, what has been going on since 2008," Jacquet said. "Even his players are waiting for it (an explanation)."
