For several weeks now, there has been talk of Fabrice Abriel being sacked as coach of Paris Saint-Germain’s women’s team at the end of the season. But Le Parisien reports on Monday that this will be done later today, before the end of the season, as there is still the playoff for the Arkéma Premier League title (semi-final against Paris FC on May 11).
“He won’t even make it to the end of the season. Two days after PSG’s defeat by PFC in the French Cup final (0-0, 4-5 on penalties), the club’s directors decided that the adventure with Fabrice Abriel would not go any further. According to our information, the 45-year-old former midfielder is expected to learn of the end of his tenure as coach of the women’s section this Monday morning.”
It’s not official yet, so we’re being cautious. But this journalist is generally reliable when it comes to PSG Féminines, and this decision is far from insane. There have been disappointing results and numerous tensions over the course of the season.
A change is relatively logical, even if it is regrettable that PSG’s women’s section is unable to find stability. Let’s hope that this time the right choices will be made to ensure real progress over the long term. For the moment, the name of a replacement has not been mentioned. It’s hard to know whether a replacement will be found before the match against Paris FC.
