LAURENT BLANC has resigned as head coach of France.

Reports emerged earlier today that the former Bordeaux boss would not be continuing with Les Bleus following a meeting with the FFF.
The FFF then confirmed the 46-year-old would not be renewing his contract following France’s exit from Euro 2012 following a 2-0 defeat by Spain at the quarter-final stage.
A statement on the FFF website read: “Within the period provided for reflection, Laurent Blanc, on Saturday contacted the President of the FFF, Noel Le Graet, to indicate his decision not to seek the renewal of his contract of national coach.
“Mr Le Graet has acknowledged and applauded the work of Laurent Blanc at the head of the France team since August 2010.
“The executive committee of the federation is meeting on Tuesday but no comments will be made by the FFF and its president before the press conference scheduled at the conclusion of this work session.”
