PARIS (Reuters) - French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Tuesday he expected carmaker Renault RENA.PA to name its new chief executive in a few days.

Le Maire also said on French CNews TV that media reports that some Nissan 7201.T executives wanted to break up the alliance with Renault were "malicious".

Nissan said on Tuesday it was "in no way" considering dissolving its alliance with Renault and Mitsubishi Motors 7211.T and that the alliance was the source of Nissan's competitiveness.
