Domenech blasts English

French international coach Raymond Domenech has hit out at the FA's choice to appoint Fabio Capello, believing that although the Italian is a great coach, the move to go foreign again is a bad choice by the FA.

'The FA's decision to go with Capello as the new England manager is a very serious move, especially for English coaches,' Domenech told RTL.

'I believe the fact that they went abroad to look for a manager, just as they did in the past with Eriksson, is not positive.

'England need a manager that has the same mentality as their players.'

Domenech nevertheless praised the Italian coach.

'I have respect for Capello,' he said.

'I'm not talking in this manner because Capello is Italian; I only say this for the good of English coaches, who should feel offended by this appointment of a foreign manager.'
