The coach of the French women’s team reacted to the failure of negotiations between the French Federation and its Ivorian counterpart for a loan until the end of the CAN.
Coach of Ivory Coast when the Elephants won the African Cup of Nations in 2015, Hervé Renard almost made a thunderous return at the head of the Ivorian selection. In search of a new coach after dismissing Jean-Louis Gasset from his position even before the verdict of the group stage, the Ivorian Federation had made its former coach its priority.
Discussions were held all day Thursday between Ivorian leaders and their counterparts from the French Federation with a view to a loan until the end of the CAN but no agreement could ultimately be found. To the great regret of the first concerned. “ The negotiations did not result favorably, it was because this was not supposed to happen. I would have loved it but fate chose otherwise,” he reacted in a message sent to Canal+.
Following the dismissal of Jean-Louis Gasset after the correction received against Equatorial Guinea (4-0), Monday, and the qualification snatched at the last minute thanks to Morocco’s victory against Zambia, the Ivorian Federation appointed the former Nantes player Emerse Faé to act as interim but hoped to repatriate Hervé Renard, the FFF having initially opened the door. But if Philippe Diallo was not closed to the idea, discussions with other members of the Comex and certain executives of the Bleues convinced the president of the FFF to reject the request.
