Noel le Graet suspended as president of the French Football Federation – Philippe Diallo will be temporary

The Federation’s executive committee met on Wednesday morning and a majority decided that Noël le Graet should be suspended as president.

The decision was made as a result of the scandal caused by the president, who made several strange statements about Zinedine Zidane.

Kylian Mbappe, Amelie Udea-Castera (France’s sports minister) and even Real Madrid came to Zizou’s defense.

Its general manager, Florence Ardouin, has also been suspended, according to l’Equipe.
