After the clashes reported between Corinne Deacon and some of her players, the future of the coach of the France team could pose a question to a little over a year of the Euro.
"The results of the France team with Corinne Deacon are good," defended the vice-president of the FFF, Brigitte Henriques, Saturday on Europe 1.
INTERVIEW
As the next Euro looms on the horizon, the Blues have gone through some complicated times in recent months.
Tensions have arisen in particular between the coach of the France team Corinne Deacon and some of her players.
Enough to question the mission of Corinne Deacon at the head of this team?
Guest of Europe 1 Sport on Saturday, the vice-president of the French Football Federation (FFF), Brigitte Henriques, defended the results of the coach: "The results of the France team with Corinne Deacon and the current selection are good since we qualified for the Euro again. "

"We hope that things will improve in the coming year"
"This is the first thing to remember. The results are good and the objectives are achieved", hammered Brigitte Henriques who is part of the list of Noël Le Graët, candidate for her own succession at the head of the FFF on March 13 next.
"It's not trivial. It's been seven times that we have qualified, but I can tell you, having been part of the first team to qualify for a European Championship, that it is already a performance in Self. It took a long time before we systematically qualified in that way. "
Still, tensions within the group could prove detrimental to winning the European Grail.
"We obviously hope that things will improve in the coming year. Me, I believe in it a lot," replied Brigitte Henriques.
"Dirty laundry should be washed in the locker room and together."
For Brigitte Henriques, the group must now have the ambition to "look ahead".
"We must all be committed to this common goal and everything can be restored to order," she concludes of the future competition.
