He has experience in women's soccer that makes him a legitimate candidate.
Reynald Pedros has officially declared himself a candidate to succeed Hervé Renard as coach of the French women's team.
Following the draw for the Olympic tournament less than a week ago, the latter confirmed that he will cease his duties at the end of the Olympic Games in August.
And this whatever the result of the Bleues.
It will therefore be necessary to find a successor in the summer and the race is on.
The 52-year-old former Nantes resident takes his place on the starting line.

Reynald Pedros was the coach of OL (2017-2019) with whom he won two Champions Leagues in 2018 and 2019, then the coach of the Morocco team (2021-2023) for women.
With him, the Moroccans went to the round of 16 of the World Cup last summer.
“From the moment Hervé Renard decided to leave his position after the Olympics, indeed, yes, I am a candidate to take over the French team after his mission,” he confided on the Canal + set.
I don't know if they have officially opened applications yet.
So when we know when we can send them, I will do it with great pleasure, because it is something that is close to my heart, yes.
