The president of the French Football Federation, Noël Le Graët, will offer coach Corinne Deacon to extend her contract until the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, he announced Thursday, July 28, in an interview with the AFP, the day after the elimination in the semi-finals of the Euro.
“With Corinne, we’re on the right track. It’s been harder, but we’re making progress. I don’t see why we wouldn’t find an agreement”he said, extolling the merits of a France team “consistent and progressing” despite losing the semi-final 2-1 to Germany. “I still supported her in times when there weren’t many people to support her. Today there are results that are rather positive, I don’t see why I won’t support her again “he developed.
In office since 2017, the former defender of the France team, whose contract comes to an end at the end of this European championship, saw the beginning of her adventure marked by tensions with many players, among which the Lyonnaises Amandine Henry or Eugénie Le Sommer, both not retained during the Euro in England.
Before the defeat against the Germans, “we came out of 18 games without defeat, it shows that our team is consistent and progressing“, added Noël Le Graët, evoking the rejuvenation driven by the coach: “She has just formed the team of tomorrow.“
