Noël Le Graët should resign from the presidency of the FFF next Tuesday (media)

How can it be otherwise? Heavily questioned by the audit mission of the General Inspectorate of Education, Sport and Research (IGESR) on the malfunctions at the FFF, Noël Le Graët has no other choice. While cases have been piling up on his person for several years now, the Breton seems to be able only to walk out the door and leave his post as president of the presidency of the French Football Federation. And if any doubt still persisted in recent days, he would have finally made the decision to return his apron during the next executive committee of the body, scheduled for Tuesday.

A reversal is possible

If this seems inevitable given its catastrophic situation and while the audit report pinpointed its “behavioral deviations“, “incompatible with the exercise of the functions and the requirement of exemplarity which is attached to it“, however, we must remain cautious. A reversal of the situation cannot be excluded, as the daily specifies, which recalls that the former mayor of Guingamp is not the style to surrender like that.

A few days ago and despite the headwinds, NLG, who cannot be removed from office by the Ministry of Sports, still had the hope of trying to persuade certain members of the FFF’s executive committee. that he could keep his hand, according to AFP. But more fragile than ever, his chances of success were slim. This week, Vincent Nolorgues, president of the Amateur Football League also felt that the 81-year-old leader must “resign“as soon as possible to protect the FFF. His request could have been heard. Finally some will say.
