“The conditions are not yet met for me to sign” says Amandine Miquel

A defeat on penalties during the small final against Paris FC which will deprive the Champagne club of the Champions League. Despite everything, Stade de Reims more than succeeded in its season, with a place in the playoffs snatched in the dying seconds of the last day of D1 Arkema. “We really didn’t plan on the idea of ​​doing them. For the first three, I’m skeptical. And I think that they are completely against it and that the PFC would have claimed injustice if we had scored our two shots on goal, which would not have shocked me” confided Amandine Miquel in the columns of L’Équipe about this new playoff system.

“We came out of the bush at the last moment depending on people’s point of view. People didn’t see us holding up in the return phase. Everyone said we were going to falter.”

Miquel has still not extended

At the end of the contract in the coming days, the Stade de Reims coach has still not extended. “The staff and I have been working hard for eight seasons. So ultimately, it’s not shocking that we’re here. We’re investing a lot on and off the field in order to have more support from the club, good conditions for the players” she continued, before returning to the reasons for her current situation.

“I am no longer under contract, I am free. The extension was offered to me but I believe that the conditions are not yet met for me to sign. I am taking my BEPF, it is easier for me to do so to pass while being in Reims Clubs are still trying their luck, it’s normal, there has not yet been an official announcement of an extension. However, she does not see herself being prosecuted in France. “No one is going to ask me in France. I don’t believe it for a single second. Even if the club you are thinking of asks me, I would be stupid not to think about it. But I would be extremely surprised. There has been no no contact and no interest in me.”
