Almost 1 million euros for the dismissed Corinne Diacre

An economic agreement was reached between French Football Federation (FFF) and Corinne Deacon to terminate the contract of the former coach of the French women’s team, his lawyer learned on Tuesday.

Deacon, who was fired on March 9 from his position as coach but is still linked to the FFF until August 2024, will receive 870,000 euros, Christophe Ayela told AFP Me. This amount corresponds to the emoluments due to him until the end of his contract, increased by an additional year. It also includes “one percent” of the bonuses awarded in the event of the ‘Bleu’ titles at this summer’s World Cup and at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

“Corinne Diacre is relieved by this agreement, which allows her to turn the page and undertake new projects in the world of football,” said Me Ayela. “It is an agreement that marks the respect due to his sporting results in the French team.”

The ex-coach’s lawyer emphasized that the fringes have not been closed until now because “further reparations for the damage to his image” need to be addressed. “There was a media campaign by three players and the president (Jean-Michel Aulas) who denounced him before his trial. This deserves further compensation.”

Hervé Renard accepted the position a few weeks later

Diacre, undermined by a rebellion of three of France’s best players (Wendie Renard, Marie-Antoinette Katoto, Kadidiatou Diani), who questioned, unnamed, his management methods, was removed from his position as coach of the French women’s team. on March 9.

He was replaced by Hervé Renard, who will be in charge of leading France to the next World Cup (July 20-August 20 in Australia and New Zealand) and the 2024 Paris Olympics. “Both parties have been honest. I like. I want to thank the president of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo, who handled this matter with honesty, moderation and humanity. He showed tact and intelligence”, highlighted Miss Ayela.
