Hervé Renard, the current head coach of France's women's football team, made an announcement concerning his impending departure after the Paris Olympics. He harbors ambitions of coaching a men's team again, thus he will not be renewing his contract with the women's team.
Renard's takeover as coach of the women's team occurred just a year ago, stepping into the shoes of the previous coach, Corinne Diacre. His tenure, although not long, witnessed a vigorous dynamic shift and impressive performances, during which he always emphasized the importance of continuous progress, particularly in women's football.
The French coach has made it clear, French football has a long road to travel before it becomes the best in the world. Yet, he remains optimistic that the French team can secure a victory in the forthcoming Olympics. Despite the journey ahead, the French women's team remains focused and is performing exceptionally well.
Renard's exit is set to coincide with the end of his contract, which expires on August 31. His sights are firmly set on a return to men's football, indicating a new chapter in his career. The French women's football team will face the challenge of finding a successor who can carry forward Renard's legacy and continue to push the team towards greater progress.
