a potential successor to Deacon speaks

While Corinne Deacon left the French women’s team, against her will but under that of the Comex of the French Football Federation (FFF), the appointment of the next coach of Les Bleues is long overdue.

The 48-year-old French coach did not survive the revolt of some of her players, and not the least (Wendie Renard, Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Kadidatou Diany). The Comex of the FFF pointed the finger “malfunctions” and the “mismatch with the requirements of the very high level” of Corinne Deacon and her staff, which allowed them to be excluded from the selection.

Now, on to the next.

Preacher on pole

In addition to Hervé Renard (Saudi Arabia coach) and Sonia Bompastor (OL women’s coach), Gérard Prêcheur is cited to take over from Corinne Deacon. In comments relayed by The Teamthe PSG women’s coach has indicated that he has not yet “no contact” with the FFF: “For the moment, it’s not very complicated, all the information, it’s you (the journalists) who give it to me or in any case, we send it to me. Today (this Friday), I’m really making it clear, I’m still someone who doesn’t have the language of wood, when I say, I say, and if I say that I had no contact with whoever from the French Football Federation – I’m looking at you – I don’t have any. Neither does the club. My 24-hour days are not long enough, the time I have is spent on my different goals at Paris Saint-Germain.

The PSG coach is “flattered”

Despite the lack of contact between the coach and the FFF, Gérard Prêcheur said to himself “flattered” to be cited among the contenders for the position: “It is the Fed who will decide. There is a think tank, four specialists (Marc Keller, Jean-Michel Aulas, Laura Georges, Aline Riera), we have to trust them. The only thing we can all hope for is that they make the choice that will allow the French team to be the most efficient in the coming weeks, the coming months, until the Olympics.

With the line of sight, above all, the 2023 World Cup, which will begin in July.
