Former Coupe de France feminine champions PSG have sacked head coach Fabrice Abriel in the wake of their 2025 final loss to Chiamaka Nnadozie’s Paris FC on Saturday. Nnadozie was the hero for Paris FC in Saturday’s final, saving two penalties to earn the team their first title in 19 years. The Nigerian keeper’s heroics proved to be the last straw which broke the camel’s back for the former champions.
Nnadozie’s Reaction
For Nnadozie, who is reportedly set to leave France at the end of the season, the win was a perfect way to cap another beautiful season. “The journey was tough but the trophy was worth it. A dream come true,” she posted on X. “Thanks to everyone who supported. I give God the glory.”
Abriel’s Sacking
The defeat was the latest disappointment in Abriel’s first season in charge of the club. After failing to get out of Champions League qualifying back in September, the campaign has been marred by reports of friction between the coach and several of his star players. Following Abriel’s sacking, it is unclear who will be in the dugout for Sunday’s huge game as PSG try to deliver just a second-ever league title for the women’s team.
What’s Next for PSG?
The top league in French women’s football starts its title-deciding play-offs this weekend, with the table’s top four teams going into a knockout bracket to decide who will be crowned champions. Nnadozie’s Paris FC will again face PSG with the victor likely to face perennial winners Lyon in the final. With Abriel’s sacking, PSG will need to regroup and refocus if they hope to succeed in the play-offs.
Impact on Nnadozie’s Career
Nnadozie’s heroics in the final will likely have a significant impact on her career. As she is reportedly set to leave France at the end of the season, her impressive performance will likely make her a sought-after player in the transfer market. Her ability to save two penalties in the final demonstrates her exceptional skill and composure under pressure, making her a valuable asset to any team. With her impressive form and significant contributions to Paris FC’s success, Nnadozie is sure to attract attention from top clubs around the world.
