If the players of the French team assure that everything has changed in the group since Hervé Renard succeeded Corinne Diacre as coach, the results of the Bleues are not as telling.
Since taking the reins of the French women’s football team, Hervé Renard has practically never lost. In eleven matches spent on the French bench, the coach has only witnessed one setback for his players, it was in a friendly on July 14, against Australia (1-0). As for the elimination against these same Australians, in the quarter-final of the 2023 World Cup, it is not counted as a defeat, since the decision was made on penalties. However, all the results obtained by the French women with Hervé Renard are no better than under Corinne Diacre.
And for some, it would almost be less good. Tuesday evening on the set of the channel The Team, Damien Degorre gave his opinion on Hervé Renard’s assessment. “ Great results? I’m not saying great results. It’s a good record, but the elimination against Australia remains a bit of a task because the Blue should have qualified. So it’s not necessarily Hervé Renard’s fault, but it tarnishes the results for the moment. » The journalist was confirmed in his remarks by his colleague, Hugo Guillemet. “ I agree. Sportingly, it’s the same as Corinne Diacre.“
No development at the accounting level
But the observer still added a nuance. “ Afterwards, we say that it is a good result because from a managerial point of view, it has completely evolved. The group is doing better and we have more hope for the future. » Accounting, Hugo Guillemet nevertheless confirmed that there had been no development with this quarter-final at the World Cup, no better than during the 2019 edition. And for him, there was even a little more under Corinne Deacon. “ Between competitions, it was 5-0.“
