The decision was taken during a meeting of the FFF's Federal council on the recommendation of new coach Laurent Blanc following the country's World Cup debacle, a statement said.

France's next international is a friendly against Norway in Oslo on Aug. 11.

The country's World Cup campaign in South Africa was a total failure as France were ousted in the first round without a win.

Their exit followed a players' boycott of a training session in support of striker Nicolas Anelka, who was sent home for insulting coach Raymond Domenech.
