Jérôme Rothen blasts Rudi Garcia

This is the news of the day in Belgium. To replace the much criticized Domenico Tedesco, the Belgian federation would hesitate between Thierry Henry, who was Roberto Martinez’s deputy, and Rudi Garcia. And for Jérôme Rothen, seeing the Belgian authorities take an interest in Garcia is heresy. Moreover, the former Monaco player did not go out of his way to explain himself.

“It’s even insulting for Thierry Henry to be in the same sentence as Rudi Garcia, it will hurt his heart. Even if he won’t say it, he doesn’t think any less of it. Rudi Garcia is the interview champion. If the sports director or the president of the Belgian federation interviews Rudi Garcia, he (Garcia) will be three steps ahead of Henry. After the beautiful speeches, the paper board… Rudi Garcia is Messmer, he is a mentalist, a magician. For his interviews, he gets into the guys’ heads. (…) It’s going to be the same as with Tedesco”he declared on the microphone of RMC Sport.
