Laurent Blanc: Set to leave France job

  • Laurent Blanc: Set to leave France job

The former Bordeaux coach guided France to the quarter-finals of Euro 2012 where a limp display saw them go out 2-0 to Spain.

Reports claim there has been a parting of the ways between Blanc and the French Football Federation (FFF), although as yet there has been no official confirmation.

The 46-year-old took over from Raymond Domenech after France's miserable campaign at the World Cup in 2010, but it appears he will not renew his contract after meeting with the FFF.

Didier Deschamps would be favourite to replace him after signalling his intention to leave Marseille.

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.

afa has to be favourite for the Everton job now, surely :) He'll realise his ambition to live and work on Merseyside again, get the best out of whoever plays for them, maybe win some cups and be thoroughly loathed by the toffee fans. What's not to like? Go ead, Ken, gimajob!
