dismissed from office, Corinne Deacon is no longer at the head of the Bleues

In the end, she did not survive the media storm. Corinne Deacon is no longer the coach of the France women’s football team. The decision was taken on Thursday March 9 at the headquarters of the French Football Federation. “She is a woman who has been extremely involved in her mission since 2017, who is a serious woman, a working woman”says Philippe Diallo, acting president of the FFF, before qualifying: “but it was clear that a break had been created. I thought there was no ability to be able to roll back.”

Corinne Deacon defends herself

The one who will therefore have been at the head of the Blue for almost 6 years wanted to defend herself with a press release: “I am the subject of a smear campaign which astounds with its violence and dishonesty, which does not take into account my sporting record, and which has the sole objective of settling personal accounts.”
