	Jacques Santini Tottenham Hotspur Player Profile from 4thegame.com
		Santini had been in charge of the French national team since July 2002 but had not been offered a new deal by the French Football Federation and therefore decided his future lay elsewhere as he prepared to lead the European Champions to what he hoped would be a successful defence of their title in Portugal.
		Santini has 20 years' experience in coaching, having begun learning his trade in the footballing backwater of Lisieux after playing for St Etienne in the 1970s and finishing his playing career with Montpellier.
		The FFF wanted Santini to remain in charge until 2006, but they had not offered him a new deal prior to Euro 2004, reportedly due to fear of a repeat of the World Cup 2002 flop.

		Jacques Santini has been in charge of the French team since the 2002 World Cup.

		Santini kept faith with Fabien Barthez and Claude Makelele even though they were out of favour at club level and he was repaid with superb performance as France cruised effortlessly through qualification for Euro 2004.

		Jacques Santini was so desperate tp escape his Tottenham misery he left without a penny piece – and may even end up paying back the rent of his flat.
		Santini failed to inspire and the team had lost four of five league games and mustered only six goals when he decided to leave.
		The viewpoint in France is that Santini was doomed to an early exit because he would not prosper in Daniel Levy’s continental system, and the chairman now faces uncomfortable questions from his board and the fans at today’s AGM over why he appointed Santini.

		Spurs may have a French cockerel as their emblem, but from the start, Jacques Santini appeared as out of place at White Hart Lane as Christian Gross, who was doomed from the moment he arrived at Tottenham clutching a London Underground ticket.
		Santini displayed the warning signs of a man out of his depth and out of sync with his surroundings a fortnight ago when he refused to leave his office after the defeat by Bolton to comment on Tottenham legend Bill Nicholson, who died that morning, citing an impossible workload.
		Santini never looked like the man to rekindle their glory days and he hardly inspired confidence when he announced that he would have to write off the first few months of the season because he had no idea how long it would take his hastily-assembled team to become a unit.

		Santini insisted nothing was wrong with the Spurs team spirit after their 2-0 defeat by Fulham last weekend but the body language of several of the players told otherwise.
		Santini was therefore given players to work with that he did not really want and the cracks began to show in spite of their relatively good start to the season.

		According to Mr Santini, the ref was laughing and joking with the Man Utd, even though the ref had just given Man Utd a rather dubious penalty for a foul on O'shea.
		It is indeed the referee who leaves himself wide open to the accusation of "bias or favouritism" if he is stupid enough to mill around 1 dressing room being mr joviality, but not in the other.

		No one knows why Santini decided to futz around with the side that beat England; the notoriously contrarian coach generally refuses to explain his moves (and speaks so slowly when he does that most people lose interest before he's done).
		Similarly, Santini's decision to sign with Hotspur was based on his anger with France's Football Federation of not renewing his contract before the Euro—a petulant move Santini decided to announce as his players prepared to leave for Portugal, consequences on the group be damned.
