Philippe Diallo spoke for the first time as interim president and general manager of the FFF, in front of the employees. The leader recalled that the situation was only temporary and that the real decisions will be made after the publication of the audit commissioned by the Ministry of Sports.
Philippe Diallo spoke the day after Noël Le Graët took a step back. The interim president and general manager of the FFF addressed his employees: “I assume the interim until the end of the audit. And based on the findings of this audit, decisions will be made. The federation will have 15 days to respond to the first interim report of the investigators. I know you are going through difficult times. But I ask you to continue to work in confidence, ”he said.
“Despite all this, we are not serene”
The leader also recalled the very good sporting and financial results obtained by the Federation in recent years. However, he lamented that this was not enough to create a good atmosphere: “Despite all this, we are not serene”he added.
As a reminder, Noël Le Graët was placed in withdrawal, during the exceptional meeting of the Comex which took place on Wednesday. The president of the FFF has been under fire from critics since the remarks he made about Zinedine Zidane on Saturday. His skid followed several others. The Breton had taken controversial positions on the rights of workers in Qatar, on the defense of LGBT rights, or even when it came to defending the Blues against racist attacks. The attackers rocketed and the media tornado resulted in his being sidelined.
The content of the audit requested by the Minister of Sports, which should be disclosed at the end of the month, should weigh on the rest. But at 81, the return of the former mayor of Guingamp seems very uncertain. Especially since he is also the target of accusations of sexual harassment.
