The France Football Federation announced on Thursday that Corinne Diacre, head coach of France's women's national team since 2017, has been fired just five months ahead of the World Cup.
explaining that there was a"a very significant divide" between leadership and a number of players, which had become"detrimental to the interests of the national team."
"I love France more than anything, I am not perfect, far from it, but I can no longer support the current system, which is far from the requirements of the highest level," Renard said in a statement on social media"It is a sad day but necessary to preserve my mental health. It is with a heavy heart that I come to inform you of my decision to step back from the French team. Unfortunately, I will not be playing in this World Cup under such conditions.
"I endured, not without great suffering, the display of slander, untruths and ambitions of some and others […] I have been the subject of a smear campaign that is astonishing in its violence and dishonesty."
