France coach Corinne Diacre fired amid player opposition

Associated Press  

PARIS — France coach Corinne Diacre was fired Thursday, only four months before the Women’s World Cup. “This gap has reached a point of no return that damages the team’s interests.” Diacre, who led the French national team to the quarterfinals at the last Women’s World Cup in 2019 and was under contract until August 2024, said Wednesday she was the victim of a smear campaign. Last month, France captain Wendie Renard said she would skip this year’s World Cup because she was unhappy with the team’s set up. Three years ago, France midfielder Amandine Henry described the atmosphere at the 2019 World Cup as being tense and chaotic, with distressed players crying in their rooms.
