Hervé Renard failed to do better than Corinne Diacre during her time on the bench of the French women’s football team. Enough to rehabilitate his predecessor?
Nearly a year and a half after his arrival on the bench of the French team after the incredible sidelining of Corinne Diacre, Hervé Renard ended his mission on Friday evening with a new failure. Eliminated by Brazil (0-1) in the quarter-finals of the Olympic tournament of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the coach of the Bleues did not achieve the medal objective set by the French Football Federation. Enough to remind some people that the French team is still at the same level as under the Diacre era.
Of course, Wendie Renard and her teammates reached their first final of an international competition a few months ago in the Nations League. But the lesson they learned then against Spain left little room for doubt about the gap in level between them and their opponents. Last summer, the adventure ended much earlier at the 2023 World Cup, with a quarter-final exit against Australia. And on August 3, 2024, it was a Brazil team that had never beaten them before that knocked France out of its Olympic tournament.
Lorgeré says no
Enough to cause a lot of talk in the first few minutes following this umpteenth disappointment surrounding the Bleues. Journalist on the channel The TeamMessaoud Benterki spoke about the situation on Friday evening, drawing a parallel between the record of Hervé Renard and that of Corinne Diacre, and even going so far as to make a proposal: ” I even wonder if we shouldn’t rehabilitate Corinne Diacre at some point, in relation to everything she has taken. “A suggestion quickly dismissed by the French international, also a consultant for the sports channel, Charlotte Lorgeré: ” Whoa, no. ” Without further details.
One thing is certain, the Blues are still unable to break the glass ceiling that would allow them to aim higher during major competitions. It now remains to be seen who will take over from Hervé Renard whose contract ends in August. The project looks complicated.
