More Details
Former France captain Wendie Renard, who announced last month that she was retiring from the national team, now says she is willing to return if former coach Corinne Diacre’s successor wants her.
Renard announced last month that she would not play in this summer’s World Cup to preserve her mental health, and RMC Sport reported that she would not represent the national team while Diacre was in charge.
Last week, the French Federation sacked Diacre on the recommendation of an Executive Committee, and Olympique Lyonnais defender Renard told ‘Europe 1’ that she is willing to return if the next coach wants to work with her.
