Did Hervé Renard disrespect the players of the French team by aspiring, in vain, to take control of the Ivory Coast during the CAN? Delphine Cascarino has her opinion on the matter.
Winner of “its” CAN, Ivory Coast on February 11, after its victory in the final against Nigeria (2-1), the Elephants went through all the emotions. Before performing a series of miracles during the knockout matches, Côte d’Ivoire experienced an eventful group stage, which ended with a humiliation against Equatorial Guinea (4-0), causing the departure of Jean -Louis Gasset.
To replace the man who has just been appointed coach of OM, the Ivorian Federation first thought of a loan from Hervé Renard, current coach of the French women’s team. An idea that excited the French technician, unlike FFF boss Philippe Diallo, who ultimately decided not to release him. An episode that caused a lot of reaction. It has to be said that some saw a lack of respect on the part of the former Losc coach.
“He was not disrespectful to women’s football”

Given that it wasn’t at the same time, frankly he does what he wants. On the contrary, let him go and win and that way he comes back motivated and wants to relive that feeling of victory with us. It didn’t bother me at all. If he came to women’s football it is to advance women’s football. He was not disrespectful towards women’s football, quite the contrary. »
Victim of a cruciate ligament rupture last May and withdrawal from the 2023 World Cup, Delphine Cascarino made her comeback in Hervé Renard’s list with a view to facing Germany on Friday in the League semi-finals. nations. She was thus able to notice changes within the group, more united than a year ago. “I saw this from the outside, it’s clear that there are much fewer conflicts, there are no more conflicts at all, she confided. Everyone is focused on the same goal and the group lives very well. I noticed this before coming back and it has been confirmed since I arrived on Monday, living with the girls on a daily basis. »
