Few days after France Football Federation announced extended the contract of coach Didier Deschamps. Kylian Mbappe has called out the organization president for his statement on Zinedine Zidane.
Former Real Madrid boss was rumored with a possible take-over from Didier Deschamps as France National Team head coach. FFF President, Noel Le Great denied the rumors linking Zidane and the France national team job.
Speaking with RMC Sports, Le Great said;
“Zidane was always under the radar, there is no need to tell stories. He had a lot of supporters, some were waiting for Deschamps to leave. But who can seriously criticise Deschamps? No one can.
“You can always miss a game, but I’ve been with him for 10 years, there haven’t been many problems. [Talk of] his departure always generates clicks.”
Le Great continued his statement saying, he wouldn’t have picked up his phone if he had a call from Zinedine Zidane.
“If Zidane tried to contact me, no, I wouldn’t have picked up the phone,” he added.
Of course not, I wouldn’t have even picked up the phone. To tell him to find another club? Make a special programme for him to find a club or a national team?”
The statement form Noel Le Great didn’t sit well with Kylian Mbappe, who immediately reminded him that Zidane is a France football legend and shouldn’t be disrespected as such.
Zidane c’est la France, on manque pas de respect à la légende comme ça… 🤦🏽♂️
