Duchaussoy Elected as FFF President on Permanent Basis

Fernand Duchaussoy has been elected as the president of the French Football Federation (FFF) on a permanent basis after taking up the role in a caretaker capacity in July.

An FFF statement revealed that the move was approved at a general assembly meeting on Saturday 18 December. Duchaussoy took over from Jean-Pierre Escalettes on a temporary basis after his resignation following France’s World Cup debacle.

Duchaussoy’s mandate expires in June next year, when he can stand for re-election.
