Bordeaux coach Laurent Blanc insists he will not answer any
questions regarding his future until the end of the season.
Reports suggest the French Football Federation have earmarked
Blanc to replace the unpopular Raymond Domenech when his contract
runs out after the 2010 World Cup finals.
There are also suggestions that the 44-year-old is being
lined up as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor at Manchester United -
where Blanc spent the final two years of his playing career.
The highly-rated coach, who has a contract at Bordeaux until
2011, has grown increasingly fed up with the constant questioning
and will now remain tight-lipped on the matter for the rest of the
campaign.
"From now on, as soon as you ask me questions about my future
of the France team, I will not respond," said Blanc.
"I am in my right because I am at Bordeaux and there is a
season to finish, a season to do well and it's a lack of respect to
the club to talk about the national team.
"I don't want to fuel all this, that's it, it's 'nyet' until
May 15 for me."
This is only Blanc's third season in management.
In his first campaign he steered Bordeaux to second spot in
Ligue 1 before finally ending Lyon's stranglehold on the French
title last year.
