He became coach of Bordeaux in 2007, staying until the end of the 2009-2010 season when he left to take over as coach of the French national team. Later managed former club Paris Saint-Germain but left in 2016 after three years in the hot-seat. At the time, it was claimed that his severance payment would be in the region of 22 million Euros!
