Deacon found herself indirectly linked to the case of Hamraoui’s attack after recalling the Paris SG midfielder to the France team, violently attacked in November 2021 by two individuals during an ambush.
The case had visible repercussions in the France team, in particular due to the strong resentment developed by several internationals, including Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Kadidiatou Diani, against Hamraoui. They accuse her of having directed the investigators to Aminata Diallo, ex-teammate at Paris SG, suspected of being the sponsor of the attack and indicted in this case.
Deacon was dropped from the France team after the withdrawal of Katoto, Diani and captain Wendie Renard, critics of her management. Negotiations around a financial transaction are currently continuing between Deacon and the federation which, on Thursday, appointed Hervé Renard to succeed him.
