Though he lost the World Cup final, Raymond Domenech will still be the France’s coach. After all, you have to agree that nobody really expected France to go so far.

Domenech, who took over from Jacques Santini after UEFA EURO 2004, was offered an extension to his two-year contract and he accepted it, the FFF said on their website.

“Taking into account the excellent performance of France during the World Cup, the federal committee unanimously offered Raymond Domenech the chance to carry on his mission as national coach,” a statement said.

The contract details of the extension will be discussed between federation chairman Jean-Pierre Escalettes and Domenech before the next meeting of the FFF’s board.
