Stop or for Corinne Deacon? If we ask the question to a certain number of executives of the French football team, it would be rather stop … Less than five months from the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand (July 20-August 20), captain Wendie Renard, Kadidiatou Diani and Marie-Antoinette Katoto have announced that they are taking a step back. Without ever quoting her, these players clearly pinpointed the management of the coach of the French women’s team, whose fate will be studied “within eight to fifteen days“, said the interim president of the FFF Philippe Diallo, by a commission composed of Jean-Michel Aulas (who is not Deacon’s biggest fan)Marc Keller, Laura Georges and Aline Riera.

One thing is certain: Corinne Deacon, 48, has no intention of throwing in the towel, of resigning. Recalling “that no departure negotiations have been initiated», our colleagues from the chain Canal+ say this Thursday that the former coach of Clermont “won’t give up and still hope to be at the World Cup“. Remember that Corinne Deacon has been extended until the 2024 Paris Olympics by the now ex-president of the FFF, Noël Le Graët.
