Laurent Blanc will not renew his contract as coach of France he and the French Football Federation confirmed on Saturday.
The 46-year-old said in a statement sent to AFP that he and the FFF president Noel Le Graet had not been able to reach an agreement on a new two year contract which would have come into force on Saturday when his former one ran out.
"During our discussions on June 28 (with Le Graet), we were unable to find common ground on the management of the French team for the next two seasons," said Blanc.
Blanc, who replaced Raymond Domenech in July 2010, guided France to the Euro 2012 quarter-finals but the campaign in Ukraine was overshadowed by rumours of dressing-room discord as well as question marks over his tactics
