If Hervé Renard was in charge of a men’s team, he would never have considered freelancing with the Ivory Coast. Here is Élise Bussaglia’s theory.
After the resignation of Jean-Louis Gasset from his position as coach of Côte d’Ivoire, following the humiliation against Equatorial Guinea (0-4), the Ivorian Federation tried to bring back Hervé Renard for the rest of the African Cup of Nations. However, he is currently stationed at the head of the French women’s team.
Élise Bussaglia does not understand why the former Lille coach could have even considered this “loan” for a single moment. “Would he dare to do that if he was at the head of another selection and, by another selection, I mean male?Of course not. I’m a little tired of women’s football being considered a subcategory of men’s football. But it is also a reflection of the society in which we live. Mentalities evolve too slowly”estimated the former French international in the columns of The Team this Friday.

Hervé Renard also did not hide his disappointment at not being able to do this freelance work with the Elephants. “ The negotiations did not result favorably, it was because this was not supposed to happen. I would have loved it but fate chose otherwise“, the 55-year-old technician, who must prepare for the Olympic Games with Les Bleues and play in the semi-final of the League of Nations against Germany on February 23, told Canal+.
