Since his radio broadcast on RMC on Sunday evening, the strong wind that was already capsizing Noël Le Graët has turned into a hurricane.

Among the countless reactions to the "crime of lèse-Zidane", that of the Minister of Sports on Monday had a very particular resonance.

Amélie Oudéa-Castéra asked the 14 members of the FFF's executive committee to "take the necessary decision".

A procedure for dismissing the president of the FFF begins with the meeting of the Comex, which, according to

L'Equipe

, will take place on Wednesday morning.

“What is important is that the president brings us together quickly, so that we can take stock of the situation with him”, already hoped Eric Borghini, one of the 14 members of the Comex, contacted by

20 Minutes

at midday.



The president of the Mediterranean League, member of the Comex since 2012, however, does not want to give in to "media frenzy", even if he easily recognizes the slippage of Le Graët on Zizou.

“He made an uncontrolled statement, he apologized for it after realizing that it was wrong.

Maybe some people think that's not enough.

But there is still everything else that should not be forgotten.

Will this be enough to reverse the trend?

I can not tell you.

For the 61-year-old lawyer from Nice, it is necessary to wait for the results of the famous audit, which must be known at the end of January, to decide.

“We will take stock when everything is on the table.

The president, who has been a great leader of French football for fifty years, will take his responsibilities.

He will analyze the situation and he will know, without even being told and holding his hand, what needs to be done.

“We have never been so well”

While the 81-year-old Breton is more criticized than ever, Eric Borghini wants to recall "that the situation of the FFF has never been as flourishing as today, in all areas, except communication which, I admit, sin a little.

“The running mate of Le Graët thus lists the sporting successes of “all our teams in France” or the economic results: “We have never been so well.

The president decided that 104 million euros, or 38% of the budget of the Federation, would be dedicated to amateur football.

This is unheard of and we are the first federation in Europe to do so much for its amateur sector.

"We must not throw the baby out with the bathwater," continues Eric Borghini.

It would be extraordinary that with such exceptional results, we convene an extraordinary federal assembly to dismiss the Comex, which is still accountable to the president for all these good results!

“Not sure that this is enough to save Noël Le Graët's bet.
