FFF sacks Corinne Diacre as France women's head coach
On Tuesday, the former coach denounced the "smear campaign" against her and called the actions of some players and the media "settling personal scores."
The French Football Federation (FFF) announced this Thursday that it has decided to remove Corinne Diacre from her duties as coach of the women's national team, citing a "very important split" in relations with female players. and that it "damages the interests" of the Blues, according to the federation's website.
“This split has reached a point of no return, which is detrimental to the interests of the national team. If the FFF recognizes the involvement and seriousness of Corinne Diacre and her staff in fulfilling their mission, then it seems that the observed failures in this context are irreversible. Given these circumstances, it was decided to terminate the mission of Corinne Diacre in charge of the French women's national team.
The FFF underlined that this change is “in line with the new global ambitions” which it puts at the forefront “in favor of the development of women’s football and the performance of the French national team, which should achieve high goals during the 2023 World Cup and the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris“ .
