Extraordinary meeting in France to analyze the dismissal of the president of the FFF for offending Zinedine Zidane

The National Ethics Council (CNE) of the French Federation (FFF) called for the resignation of President Noël le Graët after the scandal mounted in France as a consequence of his statements against Zinedine Zidane in RMC Sportspublish daily ACE from Spain.

“We call on the president of the Federation to withdraw from his functions and therefore resign,” said Patrick Anton, president of the Council.

Even the French government and Real Madrid demand an apology from Noel Le Gräet for his comments against Zidane

“We need a strong and serene power, which unfortunately is no longer the case. Throughout the season, we have to apply to the leaders, in particular to the district or league presidents, the rules of ethics and transmit the files to the disciplinary committees because they have crossed the line, ”he continued.

“As for the president of the Federation, we can only ask him to retire in the best interests of football. We also don’t want to shoot an ambulance as we can see him going everywhere. But we are not going to spoil the good economic and sporting results of the FFF with a soap opera that appears more on the events page than in the soccer section. President Le Graët made statements that show that he has lost part of his lucidity. Serenity is needed to move forward. When it begins, we don’t know where it ends. He is a man who is tired. Governing a Federation that has two million licenses presupposes that one does not lose calm and serenity like him, “said Anton.

An Extraordinary Committee of the FFF is scheduled for this Wednesday in which what happened will be assessed. He has been summoned by Le Graët himself, who has already publicly apologized after having strongly criticized Zidane, of whom he said that “he would not pick up the phone if he called him” and that “he did not care if he led Brazil”.

In addition, in the last few hours, an interview in L’Equipe with the players’ agent Sonia Souid once again brought to light the accusations for an alleged sexual offense by the federation president, who, at 81, is experiencing his worst hours in office. . (D)
