Noel Le Graet will continue to work for FIFA’s office in Paris despite standing down as French Football Federation president on Tuesday after months of allegations about his behaviour, federation members said.

But several members of the FFF’s executive committee said after the meeting on Tuesday when Le Graet announced he was standing down from the federation after 11 years in charge that he would maintain his links with FIFA in the French capital.
