Amidst swirling speculations of Hervé Renard's imminent departure from the France national team, PSG star Kadidiatou Diani unequivocally supports her manager.

In a recent interview with AFP, Kadidiatou Diani, the France and Olympique Lyonnais striker, dispelled rumours questioning Hervé Renard's commitment to the national team amid reports of his imminent departure after the Olympics.

Diani asserts Renard's dedication and professionalism, emphasising that when he's with the team, he's fully focused on their objectives.

Renard's Clear Intentions and Professionalism

Hervé Renard has reiterated his stance on not extending his contract with the French Football Federation beyond the upcoming summer’s Olympics, however, he remains focused on leading the France women's team through the Olympics on home soil.

This has not stopped the rumours hinting at his lack of commitment, sentiments not helped by the growing speculation and hints of frustration regarding his inability to be loaned to the Ivory Coast during the Africa Cup of Nations. Renard has emphasised that his focus remains on the current team until the completion of his tenure.

Renard is something of a hot commodity in the men's game, but he chose to quit as manager of the Saudi Arabian national team for a chance to coach Les Bleues. He, however, remains on the list of managerial targets for various federations, including the Super Eagles.

Diani's Support and Endorsement of Renard

Kadidiatou Diani affirms her trust in Renard and his team, acknowledging that their initial agreement always indicated a short-term collaboration. She commends Renard for his professional approach and quality of work, stating that the team will continue working together towards their shared goal of success in the forthcoming Olympic Games.

“When he arrived, we already knew that he and his staff were there for a short period, but he put things in place and he did things really well. We will continue to work together for the last competition, the Olympic Games," she said, per GFFN.
