The French Football Federation has parted ways with women’s national team coach Corinne Diacre
A four-person panel commissioned by the federation’s president, Philippe Diallo, to investigate claims about the culture in the team concluded that “the malfunctions observed seem, in this context, irreversible”. A statement said: “In view of these elements, it was decided to put an end to the mission of Corinne Diacre at the head of the French women’s team.
Alleged problems between the manager and senior players have been widely reported in recent years. Diacre’s coaching methods and some of her public criticisms of players and selection decisions proved unpopular with certain individuals. Renard, Lyon’s captain, was stripped of the France captaincy by Diacre in 2017 after the quarter-final exit from the Euros but was given it back in 2021.
Diacre omitted Katoto from her squad for the 2019 World Cup, despite the forward finishing as the Ligue 1 top scorer, and left out Amandine Henry and Eugénie Le Sommer from the squad for the 2022 Euros in England after public fallings-out with the Lyon pair. In July 2020 the goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi announced she was stepping back from international football while Diacre was in charge.
