FIFA says no decision has been taken to act against France coach Raymond Domenech for refusing to shake hands with South Africa's Carlos Alberto Parreira after a loss to the World Cup hosts.
Domenech appeared to breach FIFA guidelines on fair play when he snubbed Parreira after South Africa's 2-1 win at Bloemfontein on Tuesday, which eliminated both teams.
Domenech turned his back and wagged his finger as Parreira tried to reason with the France coach, who was coaching his last match for Les Bleus.
FIFA spokesman Pekka Odriozola says no disciplinary case is active against Domenech.
