The Project's Sarah Harris swoons over French soccer coach: 'Sexy'

The Project's Sarah Harris, like millions of other Aussies, tuned in to watch the Matildas take on France in the Women's World Cup on Saturday night, with many also taking note of the French team's coach Hervé Renard.

The host was left swooning over the coach, joking, "I don't want to objectify the man... but phwoar!"

"It's the jaw line, tan, the hair, the shirt unbuttoned just so. There's a sense of arrogance about him that just seems so... sexy," she added.

Sarah joked that seeing Hervé throughout the game was exactly what she needed when watching the stressful match.

"Yes, I'd like to add it to my personal file," she said with a laugh, adding, "They've said that come the Paris Olympics, they're going to get their revenge and they're waiting for us. That sounds sexy to me."

Many other soccer fans agree with Sarah, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts.

"The French women’s soccer team coach tho," another added.

"Sorry but the french coach is a bit *too* hot," a third said.

"Nice that the French coach took time out from his modelling career," someone else joked.

"The French coach looks like he is biding his time between Mills & Boon cover modelling assignments," another said.

"The French coach has me all hot and bothered," one user wrote.

Many others thought he looked like Game of Thrones actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, with one user writing, "When did Jaime Lannister become the French women's soccer coach?"
