Sylvain Ripoll was dismissed from his position as coach of the France U23 team one year before the Paris Olympic Games, according to information from several media released on Monday July 31. The position of the 51-year-old technician had been weakened by the elimination of Bleuets in the quarter-finals of Euro-2023 by Ukraine (3-1), on July 2. Appointed in May 2017 at the head of the Espoirs, the former coach of Lorient has certainly managed to qualify the Tricolores for three consecutive European Championships, after a long period of scarcity. But he never managed to convince despite the impressive reservoir available to France among young people, and did not win a title.
