France Federation rules out Zidane move

French Football Federation president Noel Le Graet has dismissed reports linking immediate former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane with the France job.

Zidane quit Real Madrid and reports indicate that he is set to take over the France job should Didier Deschamps fail to star in Russia.

Graet insists they have no plan to replace Deschamps and he believes the coach will be with the side till his contract expires.

“Zidane can sign in Juventus tomorrow, I don’t know anything. You were surprised, me too, but don’t create a debate ‘Didier-Zizou’, it’s not serious. We start the World Cup with Didier. He signed a contract at least until 2020. And fortunately! Imagine if I didn’t do that… It’s better to be totally secure, the problem is not there now.There will not have any talks with him [Zidane] in the coming year. If I see him, we can talk of course, but the Deschamps is here until 2020 or even beyond.” Le Graet said via RMC.
