French football chief has full confidence in Didier Deschamps

FFF president Noël Le Graët commented on the future of France manager Didier Deschamps after disastrous international break.

“We didn’t show the face of a world champion. Even if I don’t think the calendar helped us. So many matches in so few days makes no sense. It’ll be up to FIFA and UEFA to work it out in the future.

The death of his father troubled him. But he went about his job as a manager normally. There are no changes. I have full confidence in him. Right now we are in total harmony. But as I’ve always said, his contract won’t be extended until after the competition World Cup.

I’ve invited him for July, we’ll talk about the organisation of the World Cup, calmly, face-to-face. We have to see what we are doing well, what we’re doing badly and what we can improve.”
