As she started to speak just a few minutes after France's heartbreaking exit on penalties against Australia in their Women's World Cup quarterfinal, she couldn't hold her emotions in anymore. On the pitch, the 26-year-old hugged and comforted her teammates after the final whistle. Now, it was her time to let go.

Renard, who led Saudi Arabia's men at the World Cup in Qatar last year, took over from Corinne Diacre last month after she was forced out following a revolt from her players about her methods.
