Kylian Mbappé has come out in support of Zinedine Zidane after France’s football federation (FFF) president, Noël Le Graët, said he would not pick up the phone if the former midfielder called him to discuss coaching the national team.

The FFF had announced Didier Deschamps’s contract extension on Saturday after he led France to a second consecutive World Cup final, where they lost to Argentina on penalties in Qatar last month. Zidane had previously been a favourite to succeed Deschamps.
