Zidane Brazil coach? "I have nothing to shake," says Noël Le Graët

It is a decision expected and revealed on our site, which closes the door to the Blues in the short and medium term.

With the extension until 2026, formalized on Saturday, of the lease of Didier Deschamps at the head of the France team, Zinédine Zidane will have to set his sights on another position if he wants to find a bench in the coming months.

His name is often cited on the side of Brazil, which is looking for a successor to Tite after the elimination in the quarter-finals of the Qatari World Cup.

A rather unlikely, but very highly symbolic prospect on which the president of the French Football Federation (FFF) Noël Le Graët was questioned on Sunday on RMC.

“I would be surprised if he went there.

He does what he wants, that's none of my business.

I have never met him.

We never considered parting with Didier, ”he explains first, before being relaunched on the emotional aspect of seeing the former playmaker of the Blues lead another selection.

“I have nothing to shake, he can go where he wants, loose the leader, present alongside Didier Deschamps at the general meeting of the FFF the day before.

He can go where he wants in a club in Europe, he would have as many as he wants.

A selection, I hardly believe it.

"I wouldn't even have taken him on the phone"

Did he try to join Noël Le Graët before the renewal of "DD"?

" Certainly not.

I would not even have taken him on the phone, assumes the president of the federation.

To tell him what?

[He addresses the presenters of the show]

You are very Zidane, make him a special show.

“We have shown in ten years some small disagreements, but so minimal.

But the pleasure of lunch, dinner, meeting, etc. is irreplaceable”, he ends up saying about Didier Deschamps.

A final raise on Zizou and the Brazilian possibility?

"I don't care," replies the president again.

The message is clear.
