French national football coach Laurent Blanc has been cleared by the country’s sports minister of race discrimination.

Chantal Jouanno said there was no evidence that Blanc had broken any laws, by discussing putting a quota on the number of black and Arab players representing French youth teams.

Blanc has said his comments were taken out of context.

Ms Jouanno said the football federation would decide the future of suspended technical director Francois Blaquart.
