France coach Corinne Diacre fired amid player opposition

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:38:28 GMT

PARIS (AP) — France coach Corinne Diacre was fired Thursday, only four months before the Women’s World Cup.The French soccer federation’s executive committee made the decision after several players expressed their discontent with Diacre.“The numerous hearings conducted have made it possible to establish a very important gap with some top players,” the federation said. “This gap has reached a point of no return that damages the team’s interests.”Diacre, who led the French national team to the quarterfinals at the last Women’s World Cup in 2019 and was under contract until August 2024, said Wednesday she was the victim of a smear campaign.The federation praised the “the involvement and the seriousness” of Diacre but deplored “irreversible” dysfunction during her tenure.Last month, France captain Wendie Renard said she would skip this year’s World Cup because she was unhappy with the team’s set up.

After beating PSG, Bayern switches focus to Bundesliga

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:38:28 GMT

MUNICH (AP) — With Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé out of the way, Bayern Munich can now switch focus to getting the edge on German league rival Borussia Dortmund.The “Klassiker” between Bayern and Dortmund isn’t until April 1, but the two teams are even on points at the top of the Bundesliga and each has a potentially tricky game against a local rival this weekend.Augsburg may not seem to be much of a challenge for a Bayern team which beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 on aggregate in the Champions League. However, Augsburg has won two of its last four games against Bayern and has a history of taking points off its larger Bavarian neighbor at inconvenient times.Besides the morale boost of beating PSG, Wednesday’s game in Munich brought some encouraging signs for Bayern and coach Julian Nagelsmann ahead of Saturday’s game against Augsburg.Josip Stanišić in particular did well in defense to contain Mbappé in place of the suspended Benjamin Pavard, but may be expected to gi...
