Euro 2008 WAGs: Raymond Domenech proposes to girlfriend Estelle Denis after losing to Italy
Eccentric French coach has marriage on his mind
Raymond Domenech was interviewed for France’s M6 TV station after his side’s defeat to Italy last night. He refused to comment on his future as head coach of the national team (there’s no way he’ll survive), instead choosing to offer an implicit proposal to his WAG:
“The only thing of that I can think of at the moment is for me to marry Estelle (Denis, his girlfriend, pictured above),” Domenech said.
Denis, a TV sports reporter, has been with Domenech for years. The couple have two kids, Victoire and Merlin – which might prompt a useless gag about how no amount of French wizardry was going to conjure up a victory against Italy last night.
