“I would have liked to take Maradona, but he’s dead,” was Raymond Domenech’s awkward comment about the dead Diego.
Raymond Domenech, New technical director of Nantes in France, joked with the death of Diego Armando Maradona, This is true to his controversial off-court style, which has characterized him since the problems he had with France in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Domenech made his midweek debut for Nantes with a goalless draw against Rennes and, at the end of the game, during the press conference, he joked about the reinforcement he would like to have in his squad.
“I am very reserved during the transfer window. I would have liked to take Maradona, but he is dead,” the French strategist explained bluntly.
In addition, this is not the first time that Domenech has entered a controversy over his actions, as it should be noted that he fought with his players when he led the French team to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
After tying with Mexico and losing to Uruguay, the helmsman fought with Nicolás Anelka, a figure of the Blues, and the rally of the concentration. Faced with this, the rest of the elements reacted and did not present themselves the next day in protest.
Also, being a fan of astrology, he has said that he does not trust players born under the dignity of Scorpio, so he did not bring Robert Pires to this World Cup. In his biography he criticized Thierry Henry, Patrice Eira and Frank Ribéry on the subject.
“When things went wrong, they were all the first to jump off the boat. I couldn’t stand this bunch of idiots anymore. I had no energy left.”
