Domenech condemned in 2017 the appointment of Ranieri in Nantes, too old to train in Ligue 1 according to the charter of the LFP.

It had been a long time since the filing cabinet had stamped so hard.

After the announcement by 20 Minutes of the upcoming appointment of Raymond Domenech on the bench of FC Nantes, a sentence from the former coach of the France team has just resurfaced and does not fail to smile.

Remember, it was in 2017, when Claudio Ranieri joined the Canaries.

Then 65 at the time, the Italian coach was not authorized, according to the charter of the LFP, to take control of the Nantes team.

Indeed, this prohibits a trainer who has reached 65 years of age to practice in the professional French championship.

The former Mister of Roma had finally obtained a waiver from the League, which was based on European law prohibiting "age discrimination in hiring".

When Ranieri dezinguished Domenech

A derogation which had not been to the liking of Raymond Domenech, who had not been deprived of making it known as president of Unecatef (the union of football coaches in France): "It is the commission legal system which validated the decision despite existing regulations.

We, Unecatef, would not have granted the exemption to Claudio Ranieri or to a French coach, ”he said.

Here he is today in the opposite situation!

Indeed, the finalist of the 2006 World Cup will be 69 years old on January 24th.

When Claudio Ranieri mentioned Raymond Domenech in November 2017:

To return to our two best friends in the world, at the time the two men had also sent cleats through the media.

When Domenech had criticized Ranieri and his not really sexy cautious coach side, he had made the show at a press conference.

"If you want to talk about the bus, the best bus I know is Raymond Domenech's," he said, not without giving up his little smile.

If Domenech talks about theater, maybe I would listen to him [he's been on stage in the past].

But when he talks about football, never.

Never.
