A former French international said she was scandalized by the fact that Hervé Renard considered taking charge of the Ivorian team.
Hervé Renard will not coach Ivory Coast for the rest of the CAN. There was no agreement reached for the French technician to free himself from his commitments with the FFF and take the Elephants during the continental tournament. But the desire was there and he didn’t hide it.
Fox disrespectful to women’s football?
The fact that Renard considered this “loan” option, however, did not please everyone. Some were even scandalized, like former international Elise Bussaglia.
Speaking for L’Equipe, the player with 192 caps wondered if Renard “would dare to do that if he were at the head of another selection and, by another selection, I mean male. Of course not “. For her, it is proof that “Women’s football is considered a subcategory of men’s football.” “And it is also a reflection of the society in which we live. Mentalities evolve too slowly,” she added.
However, Renard had been the first to promote women’s football and called for there to be fairness in coverage. When he arrived at the head of the Bleues, he asked that we stop scheduling matches for the selection during Champions League evenings because it was detrimental to their exposure.
