France Football Federation (FFF) president Noel La Graet has reportedly decided to part company with coach Laurent Blanc after Euro 2012 and identified Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger as the man to take over.
Blanc's contract expires after the tournament and the former Bordeaux boss has stated that he would like his future sorted out before the summer.
However, according to Le JDD, La Graet has already decided against offering the current coach a new deal and has lined the Gunners veteran up as his successor.
The publication claims that La Graet has become concerned by Blanc's independence as well as the size and cost of the coach's backroom team.
La Graet had previously claimed that Blanc's future was dependent upon how France fared in Euro 2012.
