Fox at the Bleues, a wolf in the sheepfold?

The case is not yet closed. If Hervé Renard is pinned number one choice to take charge of the French women’s team, at least one obstacle stands before the will of the FFF.

The captain of OL, her Lyon teammates in the selection and the players of PSG, Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Kadidiatou Diani, would constitute a hard core at the Bleues ready to assert their ideas and, visibly, empty their bag publicly. We saw it in the anti-Deacon operation.

If Hervé Renard agrees to sit on the bench of the French women’s team, it will be, we assume, to have full powers and not be disturbed by some mood swings of his players.
