On October 6, Corinne Diacre was officially
appointed coach of the Olympique de Marseille women's team. This Saturday, she will be on the Marseillaise sidelines for the first time, during a trip to the Paris FC pitch.
A first since his ouster from Les Bleues two and a half years ago. “I questioned myself, but not only on that point. My questioning was global. I don't know if all parties did the same thing, but in any case I'm two years older, so I have a little more maturity today,” confided the 51-year-old technician to
So Foot.
She even allows herself to speak about herself in the third person. “I know what allowed Corinne Diacre to succeed, whether among the boys or in the national team,
she explains, not unlike a certain Alain Delon. I questioned myself, but I don't think I've changed. I have my character and I will always keep it. This is what allows me to move forward on a daily basis, in my life and it is what will still allow me to move forward here at Olympique de Marseille. »
Corinne Diacre, the “Alain Delon” of women’s football
In recent weeks, the Marseille club has rebranded its women's section by changing its name. “L’OM Féminines”, promoted to the Arkema Premier League this season, has changed to “Les Marseillaises”. The arrival of Corinne Diacre is part of this new direction.
On March 9, 2023, the Executive Committee of the French Football Federation terminated his contract. Ousted from her position as coach of the France team, the former Clermont Foot coach has not been back on the sidelines since.
