French Football Federation president Noel Le Gré has effectively resigned after an official joint decision made by him and the FFF executive committee to put himself on… accessibility as the 81 year factor was too heavily influenced by the climate. However, it is possible that there is a deeper division in the world’s second-best federation.

Le Gré is the subject of an official investigation by the French Ministry of Sports over allegations of mistreatment and sexual harassment by French federation officials.

The president of the federation felt like a state within a state for twelve years, often arrogantly telling those who opposed him that “whatever happens, I’ll stay here, and in a year or two you’ll be nowhere.”

But the last straw for the federation and France as a whole was his indecent statements about Zinedine Zidane. The French agent said he didn’t care if the French-Algerian coach worked in Brazil or elsewhere and wouldn’t even pick up the phone if Zidane called him. “If the channels care so much about him, let them arrange a telethon to find him a job,” he said.

Works and days of Noel Le Gré – Two trends in the national team with Didier Deschamps and Zinedine Zidane – Karim Benzema.

Two days later, Le Gré apologized for his remarks, but it was too late.

This is how we arrived on Wednesday when, at an extraordinary meeting, the FFF executive committee decided to “freeze” Le Grey’s powers, and Vice President Philippe Diallo became interim president until a new one is elected.

As a general rule, Le Greux remains suspended pending the outcome of a government investigation. However, no one doubts its content.

Le Gré’s leadership has divided the federation, with some seeing camp in favor of Didier Deschamps, who extended his term until 2026, and the other in favor of Zinedine Zidane and Karim Benzema.
