In Rothen gets excited on RMC, Jerome Rothena former international player, returned to the case of Willy
Sagnol who shines with Georgia while it was more mixed during his stay in France. The subject was as follows:
French football accused of forgetting Willy Sagnol.
“There are coaches where unfortunately they are not even given the opportunity to prove themselves. They are forced to go abroad, to take selections like Willy with Georgia or others in Africa, to show that they can be good coaches. There, that was not the case. Afterwards, he returned to Germany where he had an assistant role at Bayern Munich. He even had an interim stint as number one, which lasted a few games. Then after that, there was nothing more. What has happened ? He came to work with us. That the phone does not ring after having had this unfortunate adventure with the Girondins de Bordeaux, we can understand that. I think he didn’t want to coach in Ligue 2, he wanted to coach in Ligue 1, the door didn’t open. He left and tried the experience in Georgia, and there he is showing all lovers of French football that Willy Sagnol, European Champion with the French team, and who still marked the he history of French football by winning like that at Bayern Munich, was a very good coach. Doing what he’s doing with Georgia means he’s got something in him. The management of the group, the management, he takes the players. He also has great players up front because Mikautadze and Kvaratshkelia, and even number 10… He has three or four class players, he has a good goalkeeper, and behind there is a very solid base so the work is put forward . I think that after the Euro the doors will reopen. Maybe not in France because everyone has coaches today, but I think its popularity is picking up again. So to say that French football has turned its back on it, I think it’s a bit harsh.”
