ZURICH: A nightmare of a match, a 2-0 defeat by archrival Italy and a group-stage exit from Euro 2008 did not prevent France coach Raymond Domenech from thinking of romance on Tuesday.

Asked whether the incident-ridden game might have been his last in charge, Domenech said his only immediate plans were to marry his partner, television journalist Estelle Denis.

"My future? The only plan I have is to marry Estelle," said Domenech, who faces a struggle to keep his job after a calamitous tournament by the 2006 World Cup runner-up.
