Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has ruled out a France comeback after revealing that he would not play for his country even if his father was the manager.
The 28-year-old retired from international football in August last year after Didier Deschamps left him out of France's World Cup squad.
"Even if my dad is coach, I will not return. I've suffered with the selections, missing a World Cup destroys you a bit," Nasri said on French television.
"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."
Nasri, who has made seven appearances for Manuel Pellegrini's side this season, has scored five goals in 41 games for Les Bleus.
