Noël Le Graët, the president of the French Football Federation, has resigned from his role after a legal investigation into alleged sexual and moral harassment and a report commissioned by the sports ministry.
A government audit found that Le Graët no longer had the necessary legitimacy to lead and represent French football due to his behaviour toward women and his management style.
The 81-year-old Le Graët had already stepped away from his duties until the audit's findings were reviewed by the federation's executive committee.
He submitted his resignation to a meeting of the executive committee which was accepted.
Le Graët has denied any wrongdoing and several members of the FFF have said that he will continue his role with world governing body FIFA.
Following allegations of harassment, Noël Le Graët has resigned as president of the French Football Federation.
A government audit, alongside a legal investigation, found that Le Graët's behaviour and management style were incompatible with his position.
The 81-year-old Le Graët stepped away from his duties in January but has now resigned after the findings were reviewed by the federation's executive committee.
The report found that "his public comments and governance failings of the FFF" contributed to his lack of legitimacy to run and represent French football.
However, some members of the FFF have said Le Graët will continue as a member of world governing body FIFA.
