Samir Nasri even went so far as to say that he would not return to the France team even if his own father was appointed as manager. The Manchester City midfielder announced his retirement from international matches after he was left out of the World Cup squad by Deschamps.
"Even if my dad is coach, I will not return. I've suffered with the selections - missing a World Cup destroys you a bit.
"After 2012, I wanted to stop but my father told me I had to play the World Cup. I tried to be good. I had a great season with my club before the 2014 World Cup. I had very good stats."
"It was not enough. No disrespect to anyone [but] when I saw the list and some of those on it. I'm not perfect. I have my faults but when you're a great coach you manage the egos."
