France endured a dismal European Championship campaign and crashed out at the group stage after two defeats and a draw, having scored just once in the three games.

Domenech is under pressure after failing miserably in Austria and Switzerland and must wait until July 3 to learn his fate, once the French Football Federation have made their decision.

There have been calls in France for a complete overhaul of the national team, as many of Les Bleus' ageing stars looked past their best and a number of players announced their retirement in the wake of their exit from the tournament.

But Ribery, who suffered a serious ankle injury just minutes into France's decisive game with Italy, believes Domenech should remain in charge and continue to work with the players that remain.

"I can say that, personally, I've never had any worries about him," he told French newspaper L'Equipe.

"In my opinion Domenech shouldn't go, he should stay and keep working with the group.

"If there have been mistakes, then they were not only his. Frankly, I'd like him to stay."

His comments echo those of France captain Patrick Vieira, who last week also gave his backing to Domenech and called for stability in the national side.

However others, such as former international Christophe Dugarry, have been vocal in their displeasure towards the often-controversial France coach, placing the blame for France's disastrous tournament squarely at Domenech's door.
