Domenech condemns France players

EX-FRANCE coach Raymond Domenech has branded members of the national team “foolhardy brats” after speaking out for the first time about the World Cup debacle.

Domenech admitted he made mistakes in South Africa last summer, but insisted he has been unfairly blamed for the players refusing to train as his authority crumbled midway through the tournament.

The coach, who stood down as planned following the tournament, has taken the blame for the incident but is now coming out fighting with a forthright interview due to be published in full in today’s L’Express.
