Approached by Ivory Coast, the French coach, Hervé Renard, was very clear.
Hervé Renard has no regrets. Contacted by the Ivorian Federation (FIF) following the humiliating defeat of Côte d’Ivoire against Equatorial Guinea (0-4) during the African Cup of Nations, the coach of the French women’s team commented on this request.
“I experienced it calmly since I had already been contacted, so we must not reverse the roles,” Renard said at a press conference. Then I thought, I know the African continent by heart. I experienced an exceptional adventure with this team in 2015 and the challenges are part of my chaotic career, different from that of many others. Sometimes you have to know how to accept differences, be a little more tolerant. I don’t think I offended anyone. I asked the president of the Ivorian federation to contact our president. They talked.
The Savoyard reaffirmed his priority: “My first decision was to absolutely continue with the French women’s team which is my priority. I am entirely with this French women’s team. »
