INFO LE FIGARO – In the absence of an agreement between the French and Ivorian federation, the Blue coach will not play a role with Ivory Coast at the African Cup of Nations.
The soap opera did not last long. Hervé Renard, who was the target of Ivory Coast, a country he knows well for having won the African Cup of Nations there in 2015, will not join the Elephants for the end of the CAN. An exceptional freelance had been imagined by the Ivorian leaders, Idriss Diallo in the lead, the president of the federation, but it will not be anything of the sort. If the FFF, through its president, Philippe Diallo, heard the request, no agreement was found between all parties to release the 55-year-old technician.
According to our information, the current coach of the French women’s team was attentive, flattered and interested in the idea of responding favorably to the commando operation imagined by the Ivorian bosses in view of the 8th of CAN final against Senegal on Monday evening. Since the sidelining of Jean-Louis Gasset and the slap suffered against Guinea (0-4), synonymous with a very disappointing first round for the host of the competition, the Ivorian selection had been entrusted to Emerse Faé . The latter will also appreciate the trust his superiors have in him…
Under contract until August 2024 with the Bleues, a position he will leave after the Olympics, Hervé Renard left the federations to exchange ideas this Thursday. Without any agreement leading to a favorable outcome. The former coach of Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Zambia accepted at the start of the evening, without flinching, the decision of the FFF, which had the last word in this matter. Monday evening, Ivory Coast will challenge Senegal in the round of 16 of the CAN. It will be without Hervé Renard.
