The new head coach of France's women's national team and two-time AFCON winner, Herve Renard, spoke about what winning the African Championship meant, hinting at why he has spent a huge chunk of his career coaching national teams.
The 54-year-old was recently named coach of Les Bleues after leaving his coaching role with the Saudi National Team. He famously led Zambia to her first-ever AFCON title in 2010, a feat he repeated in 2015 with Ivory Coast.

The former Lille coach was speaking in an interview with Telefoot on the impact of achieving success in international football when he referenced his AFCON triumphs with the Chipolopolo and the Elephants.

He explained that the joy such achievements bring to the nation is unrivalled, saying he enjoyed the day after winning the most, suggesting that as the most enjoyable period, one basks in newfound glory.
He said winning the AFCON was a unifying factor in both countries where he won it, as it brought everyone together across all generations through what he described as a national joy.
"What is the most beautiful when you win is the day after,” he said.
