Former Ivory Coast and Morocco national team coach Herve Renard is set to become the France Women's coach two weeks after former manager Corinne Diacre was sacked, according to reports.
The French manager is currently coaching the Saudi Arabia men's national team, who he has worked with since 2019, overseeing their feisty World Cup victory against eventual champions Argentina.
But as per The Athletic, Renard will now be moving into the women's game for the first time, in a decision the players are said to be 'very happy about'.
The 54-year-old is said to have taken 'a significant pay cut' to manage the women's team.
Player relations under Renard's would-be predecessor Diacre were extremely fractured, which led to the French Football Federation taking action on March 9.
