PARIS, Jan 9 — Kylian Mbappe on Sunday blasted as “disrespectful” comments made by the head of the French football federation concerning former international Zinedine Zidane with the PSG superstar describing his fellow World Cup winner as a “legend”.

Deschamps’ contract expired after the World Cup in Qatar where reigning champions France lost to Argentina in a penalty shootout after a thrilling final on December 18.Asked whether Zidane, who won the 1998 World Cup as a player alongside Deschamps and was a runner-up in 2006, had called him in recent days, Le Graet dismissed the former Real Madrid coach as having been a potential candidate.

However, Mbappe, who won the 2018 World Cup with France and was runner-up in Qatar, took exception to Le Graet’s tone. FFF boss Le Graet, 81, also responded curtly to reports of Zidane’s interest in coaching the Brazil team.“He does what he wants, it does not concern me. I have never met him and we have never considered parting with Didier Deschamps.
