When She Walks, The Revolution’s Coming*

Victory (And History)…

I was pretty excited when Clermont, in France’s Ligue 2, named a female coach to their first team. It was originally Helena Costa, but she resigned before ever taking the reins in a competitive match. Her reasoning is disappointing (read about here) but she was replaced by another female coach, Corinne Diacre.
