Trezeguet lashes out at French manager

Former France striker David Trezeguet has lambasted Les Bleus boss Raymond Domenech, reiterating that it was the the decision not to sack the coach that forced him to call time on his international career.
Trezeguet has been an ever present for his country for 10 years but has rarely seen eye to eye with Domenech and threatened to quit international football before, when he was overlooked for several of France's Euro 2008 qualifiers
The Juventus star did not carry out his threat and was recalled by Domenech for the friendly against England in March, but the France federation's decision to keep faith in their man led to Trezeguet's surprise announcement on Wednesday at the age of just 30.
'We are all conscious of the fact that Domenech is not at the level to be in charge of the France team,' Trezeguet told France sports daily L'Equipe. 'But no one carries out the consequences.
'We don't take into account the opinion of millions of people in France and old footballers, and I'm not talking about those of 1998.
'Michel Platini supported Domenech because he doesn't get on well with Didier (Deschamps - who was favourite to replace him). But it's the sporting side that counts.'
Trezeguet slammed Domenech's decision to omit him from France's Euro 2008 squad, despite stunning domestic form.
The Juve striker fired home 20 goals in Serie A last season, ending the campaign with only one less than the league's top goalscorer - team-mate Alessandro Del Piero - but was forced to watch from the sidelines as Les Bleus crashed out of the tournament at the group stage.
'At a certain time, to be in the France team implied that you were playing matches in your club and being at the top level,' added Trezeguet. 'That's what high class is.
'I have just had an exceptional year for my club. I should have been there, among the 23.'
Trezeguet has scored 34 goals in 71 international appearances and is third behind Thierry Henry and Platini in France's all-time list of goalscorers.
But, shocked at the decision not to sack Domenech, and at the coach's decision not to resign which he believes 'was an obligation', he has vowed never to pull on the France shirt again.
The striker has enjoyed huge highs but also severe lows with Les Bleus. He followed up a World Cup win in 1998 by firing home the winning goal against Italy in the Euro 2000 final.
However, Trezeguet will also be remembered for being the only player to miss his spot kick as France lost to Italy on penalties in the World Cup final two years ago.
