Corinne Diacre has been sacked as manager of the France women's national team following a public fallout with a number of high profile senior players.
Diacre claimed earlier this week she had been the subject of a "violent and dishonest" smear campaign after France captain Wendie Renard and teammates Kadidiatou Diani and Marie-Antoinette Katoto announced they would not be representing their country at this summer's World Cup.
Renard, who is one of the most decorated players in the women's game, said she was stepping back from international duty "to preserve" her mental health, and also cited her lack of support for the “current system” as one of the key factors behind her decision.
