Ivory Coast was declared the new champion of the African Cup. A dream came true for this team who completed a miraculous victory after overcoming countless obstacles and after defeating Nigeria 1-2 in an epic final. What many do not know is that, on this thorny path, there were many crisis stages until the point when they contacted the French women’s coach, Hervé Renardin a desperate attempt to get out of the hole.
In fact, the coach Jean-Louis Gasset was fired when the team was eliminated from the Africa Cup, so the team had to find a replacement in record time. Gasset was struck down despite progressing to the round of 16 without a guaranteed replacement.
They then began an urgent search for a coach ahead of the round of 16 against Senegal, the tournament’s reigning champions and the only team to have won all of its games in the group stage. In that moment of uncertainty, they thought of contacting the French federation to ‘surrender’ the coach of the women’s team. In denial Hervé Renard, They looked for a new alternative to Emerse Faé that led them to glory.
Noticeable Hervé Renard He already has experience in African football, having managed to surprise Zambia in 2012 and the Elephants themselves in 2015. He also coached Saudi Arabia at the last World Cup before committing to France.
The truth is that Renard has been the coach of the French women’s team since last March and the Paris Olympic Games as his short-term goal.
The truth is that ‘L’Equipe’ reports that Renard does not plan to continue leading the French women’s team once the Games are over, regardless of what happens in Paris. However, now he has an important appointment in the month of February, because he has to play in the Final Four of the Nations League.
France will face Germany and if they win they will face the winner of the match between Spain and the Netherlands in the grand final.
