Raymond Domenech condemns Netflix film on Les Bleus as ‘nauseatingly biased’ | OneFootball

Raymond Domenech says he feels betrayed and wounded by Netflix’s documentary on France’s 2010 World Cup, accusing it of being a one-sided attack on him.

According to Le Progres, the former national team coach wrote on X that what should have been a measured explanation 16 years on became an extremely violent indictment, a film entirely at his expense and, in his view, nauseatingly partial.

He said a promised right of review was ultimately refused, which he called deeply dishonest. Domenech was in charge during the players’ strike that followed Nicolas Anelka’s exclusion from the squad, after the forward was accused of insulting him.

Domenech added that he would never have approved the version shown, arguing it misrepresents both his words and who he is. He condemned what he sees as vulgar, sensational treatment and a lack of ethics, and criticised the use of extracts from his contemporaneous diary without context, saying those notes should not have been published as they were.

Netflix said the documentary is neither an indictment nor a platform, and that it was made to confront differing accounts.
