Coach of the French women’s team, Hervé Renard asked the FFF to play a future match for Les Bleues in Sochaux. It is scheduled for next February.
Coach of Sochaux from October 2013 to May 2014 (before taking the reins of Ivory Coast and winning its second African Cup of Nations in February 2015), Hervé Renard forged strong links with the city of Doubs and provided financial support to the takeover project led in particular by the former president of the club Jean-Claude Plessis. The Lion Cubs, administratively relegated, were unable to play in Ligue 2 but resumed in National.
Before that, Renard asked the French Football Federation to be able to play a match with the French women’s team at the Stade Auguste-Bonal. ” VSThis was at my request, just so you all know. It was another ground, I asked the president of the federation if it was possible to go to Sochaux. I believe that the president of the agglomeration had made the request and I asked if it was possible to go there and it was accepted. », Tells the Bleues coach to 100% FCSM, a podcast from France Bleu.
The Executive Committee of the FFF validated this return to Sochaux last May, for a women’s match scheduled for next February (for a possible Nations League semi-final or a friendly match) as well as for the Espoirs now led by Thierry Henry in June 2024, as part of a friendly (the opponent is also to be determined).
