Amid reports of opposition from players and uncertainty over her future as France women's coach, Corinne Diacre said on Wednesday she has been the subject of a violent"smear campaign" ahead of this year's World Cup.
Fellow internationals Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Kadidiatou Diani have also said they were taking a step back from the national team. "... I have been the subject of a smear campaign that is astonishing in its violence and dishonesty," Diacre said in a statement issued by her lawyer. "I will not let myself be affected by this destabilisation operation, which does not take into account my sporting record, and which has as its sole objective a personal settlement of scores."According to French media reports, Diacre's future may be decided on Thursday by an FFF select committee.
