Corinne Deacon’s successor, dismissed on March 9, is now known. Hervé Renard, 54, was appointed Thursday, March 30, by the French Football Federation (FFF), new coach of the French women’s team. Until now coach of Saudi Arabia, a nation he made shine at the last World Cup by beating Argentina, future world champion, the Savoyard finds a bench in France. He takes the reins of a selection marked by the passage of Corinne Deacon, testifies the rebellion of certain executives of the group.
Passed by Lille and Sochaux, Hervé Renard led several African selections (Zambia, Angola, Ivory Coast, Morocco), and won two African Cups of Nations (Zambia 2012 and Ivory Coast 2015). From now on, the French technician, with his experience and his ability to federate a group, is preparing to take up a new challenge: leading a women’s team for the first time.
He only has a few months left to best prepare for the upcoming World Cup (July 20-August 20, 2023), as well as the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The work promises to be immense because the question is whether Hervé Renard will have a full workforce, and if the executives who had withdrawn from the selection (Wendie Renard, Marie-Antoinette Katoto, Kadidiatou Diani and Perle Morroni) will return at the next rally in April.
