Former France coach Raymond Domenech was asking for “indecent sums” by demanding €2.9million in compensation for his sacking, French Sports Minister Chantal Jouanno said today.
A France team in disarray went out at the group stage of last year's World Cup in South Africa after players went on strike in support of team mate Nicolas Anelka, with the forward having been sent home for verbally abusing the coach.
“He (Domenech) is relying on the law but, honestly, these are indecent sums which could be used in the fight against doping,” Jouanno told reporters at an anti-doping conference.
