Le Gre's comments regarding the possibility of appointing Zinedine Zidane as the head coach of the national team caused widespread criticism in France and Europe. The former boss said he "wouldn't even pick up the phone" if Zidane called.

Le Gre's hasty apology was not enough for the federation, who quickly decided to resign. Vice President Philip Diallo has been appointed acting chairman.
