I'll be looked at differently, says female Clermont coach


PARIS (Reuters) - Corinne Diacre, the new female coach of Clermont Foot, acknowledged on Monday that the spotlight of attention would be pointed straight at her at the Ligue 2 club.

The 39-year-old was appointed on Saturday following the resignation of Helena Costa, 36, who last month became the first female to be named coach of a men's team in the top two divisions of European soccer.
