As Philippe Diallo, president of the French Football Federation, announced to Le Figaro, Hervé Renard - who confirmed our information a posteriori - will leave his position as coach of Les Bleues at the end of his contract, on August 31. Which suggests a new subject: who will take his place at the head of the French women's team?
In the Grandes Gueules du Sport on RMC, the former coach of Évian, Toulouse and Saint-Étienne, did not refute his desire to replace his colleague at the end of his contract: “Why not, why not. .. This would be new to me. To progress women's football, you need more than a year at the helm (of the French team, Editor's note).”

The former footballer, now 61 years old, completed his tirade by assuming that his colleague had shown opportunism. “When Hervé Renard signed for the French women’s football team, it surprised everyone in the football microcosm. What made him sign was because there were the two major events concentrated in one year. Without competing in the qualifying phases. [...] This is not a disavowal of women's football. “Hervé Renard is leaving because the level is too low”, no, that’s not true! The French women’s team has a very good level.”
