France fired women’s national team manager Corinne Diacre just four months before the start of the Women’s World Cup.
The French federation (FFF) announced the decision after multiple players decried conditions under Diacre, which the federation deemed as “irreversible” dysfunction.
Last month, French captain Wendie Renard made a shocking announcement that she wouldn’t play at the World Cup this summer due to her discontent with the team. Forwards Marie-Antoinette Katoto and forward Kadidiatou Diani soon followed suit.
