The storm continued surrounding French Confederate base Noël Le Graët.
The player’s agent Sonia Sued testifies in the local media about the harassment she is alleged to have suffered.
– Noel Le Graet has only seen me with breasts and an ass, says Sonia Sweden.
“It’s time to go,” wrote Le Parisien, a Frenchwoman, “a great storm.”
“The noose is being tightened,” wrote the leading sports daily L’Equipe.
“Our players deserve the best at the top of the league,” said French Sports Minister Amelie Audia-Castre.
Large parts of France, led by superstar Kylian Mbappe among others, appear to be turning against the 81-year-old head of football Noel Le Graet after the clumsy comment about Zinedine Zidane.
French media also reported that work is now underway within the framework of the Football Association to dismiss Noel Le Graet.
‘Don’t mind women’s football’
The 37-year-old’s agent, Sonya Suede, chose to tell us about her experience with him.
Noël Le Graët allegedly harassed her between 2013 and 2017, notably on one occasion at his home in 2014.
– He saw me only as breasts and ass. During this meeting, he clearly told me that if we got closer, my ideas would come true, says Sonia Swed.
After that meeting, Sonja Suede stated that she spent her time avoiding calls from the FFF manager.
– He asked me to have dinner with him, I don’t know how many times. Every time I made excuses that I was busy. It wasn’t an idea anyway, I understood he had no interest in women’s football. Sonia Swed says there is no point in talking to him.
On my third bottle…
In an interview, she offered both text and audio messages from Noël Le Graët: “Sonia, I’m on my third bottle, waiting for you on the fourth”, “I miss you”, and “Are you free tomorrow night?”.
Sonia Said hopes other women will have the courage to speak out because she doesn’t think she’s the only one, “I think there are dozens.”
Foote has previously spoken out about sexual harassment in the association.
“It’s very simple, Noël Le Graët jumps on everything that moves,” a former FFF employee summed up.
