As a keen amateur dramatist and astrologer, Domenech has admitted to distrusting Scorpios, such as Robert Pires. This led to the choosing of Vikash Dhorasoo who played an important part in qualifying but not in the finals. He later fell out with Dhorasoo after he made a behind the scenes film Substitute. His decision to leave out FC Barcelona star Ludovic Giuly in favour of Franck Ribéry, and subsequent refusal to explain that decision, left many French players and fans mystified. Domenech chose Pascal Chimbonda, a low-profile player with no international experience, for the squad. Domenech’s selection for France’s World Cup squad was further criticised when he publicly announced that Fabien Barthez would start ahead of Olympique Lyonnais goalkeeper Grégory Coupet. This decision was met with derision in the French press and also led to Coupet walking out of the national squad before the tournament, although he later returned. His exclusion of Roma back-bone defender Philippe Mexès also raised a few eyebrows. Mexès, despite being named “Hope of the Year” in 2000 and being a starting defender for Roma since his arrival to the team, never played in a competitive senior tournament under Domenech.
