France boss on the brink

According to the Daily Mail, France coach Raymond Domenech will be sacked if his side fail to beat Serbia on Wednesday.

The man who led France to an unexpected World Cup final in 2006 has failed to produce the goods since then. A very poor Euro 2008 saw him ridiculed for his belief in horoscopes and attacked as being tactically naive in the press.

It was slightly surprising that he kept his job following their dismal group stage exit and he surely needed a good start to his World Cup qualifying campaign. A 3-1 defeat to Austria at the weekend was not what he needed.

It seems likely that the Serbia game will be his last in charge and another defeat would make that 99% certain.
