The years spent away from football fields have not changed the man.
Back on the coaching bench after eleven years away from the locker room, Raymond Domenech has kept all his repartee, the one that makes all the salt of his press conferences.
He proved it once again on Wednesday night to the media.
Pierre Nigay teases Domenech
The Nantes coach was not necessarily in a bad mood after the performance of his team on the field of Saint-Etienne (1-1).
Even if they remain in bad shape in the classification of Ligue 1 (17th), the Canaries have signed an encouraging performance among the Greens.
But we should not titillate the former coach of the France team too much at a press conference.
"Do you regret having come out of retirement to sign for Nantes?"
Knowing inside and out his interlocutor fond of verbal jousting, Pierre Nigay, journalist on the
Téléfoot
channel
, risked a slightly provocative question: "Do you regret having come out of retirement to sign in Nantes?"
The Lyonnais' response was not long in coming.
“And you Pierre, do you regret having left the Team for Mediapro?” Domenech sent to the person concerned, directly referring to the setbacks of the channel of the Mediapro group which gave up its rights to Ligue 1 afterwards. only a few months of operation.
The two men know each other very well
A zesty and fun exchange between two men who know each other well and used to verbally cross swords countless times in recent years during the talk show, L'Equipe du soir, in particular.
Raymond Domenech was a consultant on the
L'Equipe channel
before accepting the position at FC Nantes, as was Pierre Nigay, journalist, before attempting the Mediapro adventure.
