After having shone as OL coach, Reynald Pedros went to Morocco. Its success encouraged Hervé Renard to encourage more French technicians to try the experience abroad.

Tuesday, at 1 p.m., the French women’s team will face Morocco in the round of 16 of the 2023 World Cup. Hervé Renard, who has already entered the history of the competitionwill have the opportunity to challenge his compatriot Reynald Pedros, the coach of the Atlas Lionesses.

Asked about his colleague, the coach of the Blues was delighted with his success at the head of a foreign selection. “The training of French coaches is good, we are lucky to be well trained. Some manage to export themselves, but there are not enough of them. It’s a disadvantage… With world football that is changing enormously, we will have to export ourselves a little more. It’s a message for French coaches: you just have to have a desire to discover, to adapt to all the parameters of a new country.”said the 54-year-old technician at a press conference.

Reynald Pedros, a former French international, graduated as a coach in 2009. Before taking the reins of the Moroccan women’s team, the former FC Nantes midfielder coached the girls of Olympique Lyonnais , between 2017 and 2019. With these, he won the Champions League two years in a row as well as two French championship titles.
