President of the French Football Federation, Graet resigned from her post

Sports agent has levelled severe accusations of improper behaviour against the president of the French Football Federation, claiming the latter had been engaging in predatory and salacious behaviour toward her for years, solely motivated by his sexual desires.

Noel Le Graet has had a tumultuous week in France after saying he "couldn’t care less” about Zinedine Zidane’s future as a coach, and the latest accusation led to calls for his resignation from the head of the French Football Federation's ethics council.

The 81-year-old is also in the firing line as the FFF is being audited by the French government following accusations made against Le Graet late last year that he had mistreated employees at the Paris-based body.

Meanwhile Le Graet's behaviour at the head of the federation again came under the spotlight with a female football agent making accusations of unwanted sexual advances by the veteran administrator in an interview with sports daily L'Equipe.

37-year-old Sonia Souid, said that Le Graet repeatedly tried to approach her from 2013-17.

Souid said Le Graet's attitude hurt her and that she thought about ending her career as an agent.

"He never looked at me like an agent but like a piece of candy," Souid said.

France’s sports minister ordered an investigation into the federation in September after the body said it would file a defamation lawsuit against So Foot magazine, which reported that Le Graet allegedly harassed several female employees.
