By his own admission, Hervé Renard has a problem to resolve with his players following the imbroglio around the Ivory Coast.
Very discreet since the Ivory Coast affair, Hervé Renard faced the media this Wednesday to announce the list of players selected for the Final Four of the Nations League. And unsurprisingly there was a lot of talk about Elephants.
While Ivory Coast was on the verge of elimination from the African Cup of Nations and had just parted ways with Jean-Louis Gasset, the Ivorian federation tried to get a loan Hervé Renard until the end of the CAN. And if the FFF had finally refused, the Savoyard technician had not been insensitive to this interest.
The former Cannes resident explained it to the press. “ I have already been contacted, so we must not reverse the roles. Then, I thought, I know the African continent by heart. I experienced an exceptional adventure there with this team in 2015 and the challenges are part of my chaotic career, different from that of many others. sometimes you have to know how to accept differences and be a little more tolerant. I don’t think I offended anyone, he explained. I asked the president of the Ivorian federation to contact our president. They talked. My first decision was to absolutely continue with the women’s Franc team which is my priority. I am entirely with this French women’s team.”
“You have to sit down and take stock”
However, the affair caused a lot of noise and was badly received by its players, which the person concerned easily admits. An explanation with its players is therefore necessary. ” It is mandatory. When you are traveling and you have a problem with your wife at a distance, when you come home, you are obliged to sit down and take stock, to give a rational and concrete explanation. This is what I’m going to do with them.”he assured.
Hervé Renard, on the other hand, remained vague about his intentions beyond the Olympic Games.. “I have a contract until the end of August 2024, we’ll see what happens. I have been told things that have been said… There are many people who speak for me, often. In six months, I don’t know what can happen in life and in football, we’ll see “, he confided on this subject.
