French football boss Noel Le Graet on Monday apologised for what he dubbed his 'clumsy remarks' about Zinedine Zidane's potential interest in coaching the France national team.

Kindly share this story:

Le Graet had quipped dismissively in an interview on French radio that he “wouldn’t even have taken his call on the phone” when asked whether Zidane had called him to express an interest in taking over as coach from Didier Deschamps. French Sports Minister Amelie Oudea-Castera also waded in, demanding an apology from Le Graet for his comments, which she said showed “a shameful lack of respect”.
