Domenech, head coach of France has criticised Walter Smith’s recent decision to leave Scotland for Rangers. He reportedly said Smith “is laughing in the players’ faces. It’s scandalous. He’s taken advantage of the momentum they’ve given him and then dropped them”. He also seems to think that Smith’s departure will be ‘fatal’.
I reckon this is all a bit pointless. As hacked off as I am with Walter Smith leaving for Rangers I think the Scotland squad are big enough to maintain their good current form. Anyway, why does Domenech care? If he was a decent manager I would expect him to be more concerned with his own team. Let’s hope he’s not.
Tommy Burns has resigned from his position as Scotland’s Assistant Coach. Apparently unhappy about not being considered for the top job, Burns was not prepared to be assistant to a third successive Scotland coach.
