While he has just failed at the quarter-final stage of the 2023 World Cup with the Blue, Hervé Renard has been assigned a major goal by the president of the French Football Federation.
The disappointment was great. Out on penalties (0-0, 7-6 on tab) by Australia in the quarter-finals of the 2023 World Cup, the French women’s football team struggled to take the hit. Like his players, Hervé Renard found himself somewhat groggy after the match. While his boss, the president of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo, had set him the minimum objective of reaching the semi-finals of the competition, the national coach expressed his disappointment, but also his hope for the future. And he will have to make sure to make all this happen on the ground, because he has received a new major mission.
Even if he surely already knew the expectations of the FFF, Hervé Renard learned in the course of an interview granted by Philippe Diallo to The Team, what the latter expected of him and the Blues. In the columns of the sports daily, the president of the Federation was asked about the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. And for him, Hervé Renard’s mission is very clear: to come back with a charm around his neck. ” Everyone knows what the Olympics represent in Paris. The French women’s team will obviously have an ambitious goal, to reach the podium and see the color of the metal.”
Olympic gold awaited
And ambition, Philippe Diallo obviously has a lot for Les Bleues. ” The one we are waiting for is obviously gold. We know we will be expected. Hervé and the players too. They are able to meet this challenge. “The leader therefore retains all his confidence in the one who succeeded Corinne Deacon on March 30, after the latter was the victim of the putsch triggered by Wendie Renard, Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Kadidiatou Diani. But after failing for his first mission at the Australian World Cup, Hervé Renard will not have to fail this time. His future on the tricolor bench could depend on it.
