Jean-Michel Aulas wants to remember the positive

“Given his seriously inappropriate behavior with women, failures (…) he no longer has the necessary legitimacy to administer and represent French football”, explained on February 15 Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, Minister of Sports. For years, Noël Le Graët pulled the strings of French football and was elected president of the federation in June 2011. Among his successes, the choice of Didier Deschamps, the man with the three finals and the world title in 2018. For Jean-Michel Aulas, member of the executive committee of the FFF, French football has also been enriched thanks to Noël Le Graët.
