After resigning as coach of Saudi Arabia, Hervé Renard is expected to take charge of the women's France team. Good news for Claude Le Roy, friend of the technician and former coach of Togo. Present in "Europe 1 Sport", he recalled the current work that there is at the Blues.

Expected for several weeks at the head of the women's France team, Hervé Renard should be officially appointed this Friday by the French Football Federation (FFF). After announcing his resignation as coach of Saudi Arabia, the technician "determined to return to France to manage a national team". Claude Le Roy, currently a member of the union of football coaches in France (UNECATEF) and former coach of Togo, is very close to the future coach of Les Bleues. Present in Europe 1 Sport (every evening from 20 p.m. to 23 p.m.), he said he was happy for his "friend".

Hervé Renard is "someone passionate about football", decrypted Claude Le Roy at the microphone of Céline Géraud.

"Some players will be disillusioned"

Winner of the African Cup of Nations (CAN) with Zambia and then with Côte d'Ivoire, Hervé Renard remains to this day the only coach to have won two AFCON with two different nations. But with the Blues, the task promises to be difficult. After going through a period of turmoil marked by the revolt of some players towards the former coach Corinne Diacrenow landed, the coach will have to rebuild the team.

But Claude Le Roy is convinced, "some players will disappoint because he (Hervé Renard) will want to leave with young players who have quality of speed. Some, who no longer wanted Corinne Diacre will not necessarily be welcomed with open arms in this new team of France," he assured before continuing: "He will play the best according to his conception."

Anyway, "he will reset the counters and relocate a little some girls," said the former coach of Togo. The project is big for the coach who will have a tight schedule. And for good reason, the Women's Football World Cup is held from July 20 to August 20. But the technician likes challenges. At the last World Cup, he had achieved the feat of beating the world champions Argentina with Saudi Arabia.
