William Gallas has laid the blame for France's World Cup implosion at the feet of former coach Raymond Domenech.

Les Bleus crashed out in the group stage amid huge unrest in the camp, with Nicolas Anelka and Domenech involved in a bust-up which resulted in the Chelsea striker being expelled from the squad. A subsequent strike by the players in protest at Anelka's expulsion added to the air of farce surrounding France's doomed campaign.

Gallas told the magazine in excerpts published by L'Equipe: "The real problem was the coach. I was not good, we were not good. But the coach was not good either."
