Corinne Diacre has been sacked as coach of the France women’s team, the French Football Federation announced on Thursday, after her position was weakened following a revolt by leading players.
The 48-year-old who was under contract until 2024 came under serious pressure after captain Wendie Renard announced last month she would no longer play for the team, with fellow stars Kadidiatou Diani and Marie-Antoinette Katoto following suit.
The FFF said problems within the squad had become “irreversible” and therefore “decided to bring an end to Corinne Diacre’s job as the head of the France women’s team”.
Details soon.
