Real Madrid, clear message for Noel Le Graet – UEFA Champions League winner with Zinedine Zidane

Zinedine Zidane turned down offers from Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United to lead the French national team, but immediately after the World Cup in Qatar, the federation extended Didier Deschamps’ contract.

In addition, the president of the French Football Federation made an unpleasant message for the former coach of Real Madrid, and the Spanish club responded with a harsh statement.

“Real Madrid regrets the statements made by the president of the French Football Federation, Noel Le Grat, regarding Zinedine Zidane, one of the greatest legends in the history of sports.

These words show disrespect to one of the most respected footballers in the world and our club expects immediate correction.

Zinedine Zidane, world and European champion with his country, embodies the values โ€‹โ€‹of sport and has proven it in his professional career as a player and coach.

The statements of the president of the federation are unbecoming of a man in such a position, as are those made about our captain Karim Benzema, the current winner of the Ballon d’Or, the winner of the Nations League with the French national team and a five-time winner of the UEFA Champions League among others.” – wrote Madrid “Real”.
