Dropped by the FFF and ousted from her position as coach of the France team last March, Corinne Deacon has already rebounded well.

The blow was hard, difficult to take. Four big months before the 2023 World Cup which has just started in Oceania, Corinne Deacon had to give up her place at the helm of the French women’s team, victim of a revolt within her team and hardly supported by the French Football Federation, well embarrassed by the revolt of the executives of the Blue ones as the World Cup approaches.

Hervé Renard now at the helm, Corinne Deacon keeps “ bitterness and resentment ” of this episode if we are to believe his entourage quoted in the pages of Parisian, but the technician of almost 49 years (next August 4) has also decided to “ turn the page “, still in search to this day of a ” ambitious project to relaunch his coaching career.

Missions within the football authorities

The solicitations for his eviction – which brought him some 870,000 euros from the FFF – however did not fail. ” She would have refused several offers from abroad ”, notes the aforementioned publication. Especially from Asia. The person concerned since her dismissal has not been idle for all that. At the end of last season, Corinne Deacon supervised several matches in the Women’s and Men’s Champions League on behalf of UEFA. She also took part in a mission to Brazil for Fifa, sharing her skills with local coaches.
