PARIS - News reports say former France coach Raymond Domenech has been fired from his last remaining job with the French Football Federation for his role in the team's disastrous World Cup.

France-3 TV says Domenech was fired from his post on the federation's technical advisory board for making a "grave error" in three ways.

The report Sunday said they were his handling of the expulsion of Nicolas Anelka from the World Cup, and the subsequent strike by the squad from a practice session.

It also cited his refusal shake the hand of the South Africa coach Carlos Alberto Parreira after France's 2-1 loss in the group stage.

The report said Domenech received a letter about his firing on Thursday. His contract as coach ran out after the World Cup.
