He coached the French national team, harshly criticized Lionel Messi and is now desperately looking for a job

Years ago he criticized Lionel Messi, and now the former coach of the French national team, Raymond Domenech, is not going through the best moments of his coaching career.

Raymond Domenech will not be remembered for his successes as a coach (or as a player) but rather for his controversial statements in 2017, where he said that Lionel Messi and Barcelona were in decline.

How did he criticize Lionel Mess?

His words were: "He no longer has the energy of being 20 years old or a magic wand to get the classification. He has lost spontaneity, strength in his dribbles and insists on taking free kicks even though Neymar does better, all to continue being the demigod he has been. It is not easy to see that you are losing your gifts", he said.
