Domenech faces Togo, 10 years on

Raymond Domenech is set to come up against Togo a decade after facing the west African country as then manager of France at the 2006 World Cup.

Domenech is now coach of Brittany and the north-west region will play Togo, coached by his compatriot Claude Le Roy, in Lome on May 22.

Ten years ago in Germany, France beat Togo 2-0 in Cologne to qualify for the 2006 World Cup knockout stages, the team skippered by Zinedine Zidane making it all the way to the final where they lost to Italy on penalties.

The match will forever be remembered for Zidane's infamous headbutt on Marco Materazzi after a verbal altercation, which triggered the French legend's red card in the second half of extra-time.

Domenech remained in charge of France for the 2010 World Cup, that campaign in South Africa overshadowed by a players' strike with Les Bleus finishing bottom of their first-round group without winning a single game.

Next month's game in Lome is raising money for a cancer charity.
