Kylian Mbappe receives Real Madrid backing over Zinedine Zidane "disrespect" row

Real Madrid have joined Kylian Mbappe in criticising comments made by France FA president Noel Le Graet towards Zinedine Zidane.

France FA president Le Graet said he "did not care" that Zidane was the subject of an approach from the Brazilian FA, who were interested in appointing the former midfielder. That led Mbappe to accuse Le Graet of "disrespecting" the former Madrid boss.

Zidane had been linked with replacing Didier Deschamps as France boss but those rumours ended after Deschamps extended his contract with Les Bleus through to 2026. Deschamps led his injury-hit side to the World Cup final where they were just a penalty shootout away from retaining their trophy in a remarkable final defeat against Argentina.
