Raymond Domenech BLASTS Arsene Wenger's idea for a biennial World Cup as 'STUPID' and an 'aberration' - as UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin reveals 'grave concerns' at FIFA's plans

Raymond Domenech has blasted Arsene Wenger's plans for a biennial World Cup, calling his plan 'a stupid idea'.

Former Arsenal manager Wenger is now FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development and came up with ideas including introducing a rest period after summer tournaments and replacing international breaks with one or two qualifying slots.

But his compatriot Domenech strongly criticised him, recalling their feud when Domenech was France boss and Wenger preferred to keep French players with the Gunners.
