Two months have passed since the elimination of the Blues in the quarter-finals of the Olympic Games and Hervé Renard, who left his position as coach of the French women’s team as planned, is already looking forward to returning to the sidelines. Even if he enjoys this period of rest spent in Senegal, “it tickles when there are matches on the weekend, competition”he confided in the columns of The Team.
Hervé Renard was also very close to diving back in this summer. “I almost went to Nigeria, I weighed the pros and cons for a few days, even a few weeks before refusing. This is the best offer I’ve had so far, the rest didn’t suit me. I prefer to wait quietly,” he revealed.
Hervé Renard rules out any return to France
Nigeria, however, met his expectations. Because the former midfielder knows what he wants: “A national team as a priority. And I hope she will still be able to play in the World Cup qualifier. » And what about a club? “It’s not my priority. But I am not Guardiola, Zidane, Ancelotti or Klopp. I don’t do what I want, when I want. »
Hervé Renard hopes that the situation will quickly resolve itself.
“In my mind, I’m not going to take a gap year. In January, if I don’t have a national team, what will I do? That’s why I can’t be categorical, he revealed. The beautiful thing about this situation is that you don’t know anything about the future. Somewhere, there is a form of excitement too because every time you start a project, you are full of energy. We reset the counters and tell ourselves that it’s exciting. » And on the other hand, he excludes any return to France. “Sorry, my phone no longer works. I went under a tunnel. »
