French team – Corinne Deacon, an unexpected rebound in Ligue 2

Coach of the French women’s team for 5 years, Corinne Deacon is now released from her duties with several internal controversies. The former player is studying all the possibilities to bounce back on a bench.

Despite a chaotic end with the France team, Corinne Deacon, who will receive compensation of 870,000 euros for the end of her contract, will still have been the coach of Les Bleues for 5 years. A detail that is important in a CV, especially for Corinne Deacon who wants to find a place on a bench. If the former player of ASJ Soyaux is not in a hurry, according to information from the newspaper l’Équipe, she would nevertheless like to try an experience abroad, whether in a club or in a national team. Passed in particular by the Clermont club in 2016/2017, she had achieved the best season of the Auvergne club, at the time, with a seventh place in Ligue 2. If since Clermont has performed well in Ligue 1, the coach of 48 years remains a profile that is followed by several clubs.

Deacon awaits proposals before bouncing back

The Ouest-France newspaper specifies that although Corinne Deacon has not decided on her future destination, contacts have been made with several Ligue 2 teams who appreciate her work with the French women’s team. The antechamber of French football is following his situation. The one who had 121 selections with the Blue between 1993 and 2005 as a player could also be tempted by a more exotic challenge. Corinne Deacon does not necessarily have an excellent reputation in France and the choice to leave France to lead another national team would not be surprising. It remains to be seen what will be the choice made by Deacon who will watch his former players try to win their first title at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand this summer. France will this time be led by Hervé Renard.
