Journalist

Passionate about sport, cinema and television (on screen and behind) since his childhood, Bernard has been a journalist for 10 Sport since 2018. More skilled with the keyboard in hand than with the ball on his feet, he decides to mainly cover a beloved sport, criticized and hated at the same time (football) and a sport that is not one (wrestling).

At the heart of a controversy for his comments targeting Zinedine Zidane in the wake of the 2022 World Cup, Noël Le Graët returned to his position. Questioned by Ouest-, the former president of the FFF explained himself and hopes to see the native of Castellane succeed Didier Deschamps at the head of the French team.

Here it is again Christmas Graët ! After the dismissal of the investigation targeting him for “ moral and sexual harassment ”, which had precipitated his departure from the FFFthe 82-year-old Breton is back in the media to settle some scores. The former boss of French football notably returned to his controversial comments against Zinedine Zidane in January 2023 which caused an outcry, and in particular the indignation of Kylian Mbappé on social networks.

“Le Graët reacts to the Zidane controversy”

« Zidane in Brazil? I don't care, he can go wherever he wantshad let go Noël Le Graët on RMC. He can go wherever he wants, in a club… selection, I hardly believe it as far as he is concerned. What if Zidane tried to contact me? Certainly not, I wouldn't even have picked him up on the phone. To tell him to look for another club? Make a special broadcast for him to find a club or a selection “. In an interview given to West Francethe former president of the 3F returned to his remarks and displayed his desire to see the former number 10 take control of the Blues.

“I would like to see Zidane as coach one day”

« I had just extended Didier Deschamps. In my opinion, 90% of leaders would have done the same thing. Many journalists were waiting for Zidane. The first journalist who calls me, I'm pretty much friendly. The second, a little less. Then the third one, I send him away. But it wasn't against Zidane, who I would like to see coach one dayaffirms Noël Le Graët. I was surprised that so-called specialists, who have never managed a club, played the Zidane card, probably because they were tired of writing about Didier and saying that he plays badly. Today, France is second in the FIFA rankings ».
