The federation leader assured 'RMC' in an interview this Sunday that if Zidane had called him to lead the national team he would not have "picked up the phone". "Make a special program for him to find a club", he stressed about the world champion, who sounded like a possible replacement for Didier Deschamps, finally renewed.

"Real Madrid CF regrets the unfortunate statements made by the president of the French Football Federation, Nöel Le Graët, about Zinedine Zidane, one of the greatest legends in world sport," the Real Madrid team said in a statement.

For the 14-time European champion, the words of the president of the FFF "represent a lack of respect towards one of the figures most admired by football fans around the world." "Our club expects an immediate rectification. Zinedine Zidane, world and European champion defending his country's shirt, among many other titles, represents the values ​​of sport and has shown it throughout his professional career as a player and as a coach," he remarked.

"The statements by the president of the French Football Federation are inappropriate for someone who holds that representation and disqualify themselves, like the ones he also makes about our captain Karim Benzema, current Ballon d'Or, champion of the League of Nations with France in 2021 and winner of five Champions League, among many other titles", he sentenced.
