Bergeroo to remain France women’s team coach till 2017
Paris: The French Football Federation (FFF) has announced that it has extended for two more years its contract with Philippe Bergeroo as coach of the women’s national team.
Bergeroo, who led the women’s side to the World Cup quarter-finals in Canada in June, will thus be in charge for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and Euro 2017 in the Netherlands, as per reported on Wednesday.
The 61-year-old, a member of the men’s squad that won the Euro 1984 title, met FFF president Noel le Graet on Wednesday to discus the future and review the World Cup where his side lost to Germany 4-5 in penalty shootout after finishing their quarter-final match 1-1 in regular time.
“I am satisfied with the work done by Philippe Bergeroo since I appointed him in August, 2013,” said Le Graet. “The team has made rapid progress under his reign and is ranked the third in the FIFA rankings.”
“He also got a good result from the World Cup in Canada and took the team qualified for Rio 2016, which was one of our main objectives,” added the boss.
“I want to continue to advance with the team and to prepare for the future,” commented Bergeroo. “I’m very thankful for the president’s confidence on me.”

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
