PARIS :France women's national soccer team coach Corinne Diacre has been sacked on the recommendation of the Executive Committee, the French soccer federation said on Thursday.
Diacre's position has become untenable since Renard said that she would not play at this year's Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand to preserve her mental health. The 48-year-old Diacre, who in 2014 became the first Frenchwoman to coach a men's team when she took charge of then Ligue 2 side Clermont, was appointed France head coach in 2017.
