Boghossian back in France fold
Tuesday 12 August 2008
Alain Boghossian, a FIFA World Cup winner with France in 1998, will
return to Les Bleus in a coaching capacity having been appointed as an
assistant to Raymond Domenech.
‘Different view’
The 37-year-old former international midfielder ended his playing
career in Spain with RCD Espanyol in 2003 having won 26 international
caps, and gained his coaching qualifications three years later. His
new role will be his first coaching position in football, although he
has recently been working as captain to France’s Under-18 golf
team. "We all felt that we needed another technician," Domenech
said. "He can bring freshness and a different view as he is someone
who had a long and successful playing career." Pierre Mankowski, the
current assistant, will remain in place and will take charge of
training sessions in tandem with Boghossian while Domenech attempts
"to be more of a supervisor, as many national teams do nowadays."
