France coach Raymond Domenech has voiced his surprise at Chelsea's decision to allow William Gallas to leave the club to join Arsenal.
The versatile 29-year-old joined the Gunners as part of the deal that took Ashley Cole to Stamford Bridge and Domenech was amazed by the switch.
He told the Daily Express: "I can't believe what Chelsea have done. I can't believe they let Gallas go. For a coach, he's the best defender in the world.
"Look at the positions he can play, anywhere along the backline, all with exactly the same ability.
"If I had been coach Jose Mourinho I would never have done it. Any club lucky enough to have William should never allow him to leave.
"Since I've been French coach, we've lost only one game, against Slovakia this year and that was the only one in which he didn't play."
