The France coach Didier Deschamps refused this Wednesday to comment on the suspension of the president of the French Football Federation (FFF) Noël Le Graët, decided shortly before by the entity’s Executive Committee, although he did assess his statements about Zinédine Zidane as “inappropriate”. .
After several controversies and his statements towards Zidane in RMC on Sunday, Noël Le Graët was “separated” on Wednesday from the presidency of the FFF, during an extraordinary meeting of its Executive Committee.
“Before you ask me questions, I prefer to say a few words about my president’s statements. His comments (about Zidane), as he has acknowledged and admitted, were inappropriate, ”Deschamps told the media, in Nice, during the launch of a charity campaign of which he is the sponsor.
“I think it’s a very good thing that he apologized to ‘Zizou,” added the coach.
“The sports situation brought a sports rivalry between us, for some even a conflict. I will always have a lot of respect for him because of what we have lived and shared together. Already in our first life as players and because of who he is, what he represents in football and in French sport, ”added Deschamps, whose contract was renewed until 2026, a decision validated on Wednesday by the Executive Committee.
When asked again by a journalist about the suspension of Le Graët, the former player trained in Nantes refused to speak further: “It is not planned, it is not planned today.”
Surrounded by children to whom he took numerous photos, Deschamps participated in the launch of the 34th edition of the Yellow Coins solidarity campaign in Nice, accompanied by Brigitte Macron, wife of the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron. (D)
