Michael Platini, an important option for the position of FFF president

UEFA president from 2007 to 2015, Platini is an important option to consider, according to DPA.

Radio Monte Carlo claims that French President Emmanuel Macron asked the former Ballon d’Or winner (in 1983, 1984 and 1985) if he was interested in the job.

The Suddeutsche Zeitung covered this topic extensively, the basic idea remains the same: Michel Platini is the FFF option.

Noel Le Graeux has been suspended from his role since 2011 after making controversial comments about Zinedine Zidane. The ex-president of the FFF is also accused of allegedly sexist behavior.

67-year-old Michel Platini was acquitted of fraud charges by a Swiss court.
