France coach Didier Deschamps files civil suit against Samir Nasri’s girlfriend over abusive tweets

Anara Atanes was not pleased about Nasri's exclusion from the French World Cup squad.

French boss Didier Deschamps has reportedly filed a civil suit against Samir Nasri's girlfriend over abusive tweets she posted when the Manchester City midfielder was left out of the France World Cup squad. French radio station RMC report that Deschamps and the French football federation have instigated legal proceedings against Atanes, an English-born model and singer. "FFF condemns insulting remarks against Didier Deschamps and fully supports his coach in his approach," read a statement released on Friday. "The unanimous feedback confirmed that the entire France condemned such remarks. FFF believes that the unanimous indignation is enough to condemn such behaviour." Deschamps, meanwhile, reacted angrily when it was pointed out to him that France's World Cup base was located 500m from a brothel in Ribeirao Preto. "Apparently, you're better informed than me," Deschamps stormed. "It's bizarre, because you must frequent the same places as the players. When we went to play in Ukraine, I also know the media's evenings were quite animated. "Curiously, you go to the same places, but that is less well-known. Often, I find out about it all the same. Just in case. Because you might have files on the players but I also have them on you. It's good to know what's going on. After that, each person does what they want."
