"Herve Renard stated, 'Saudi Arabia have qualified for the World Cup seven times, including twice with me. And there's only one coach who has led them through both the qualifiers and the World Cup; that's me, in 2022.'"
"Renard, a two-time Africa Cup of Nations winner, was in charge of Saudi Arabia from 2019 to 2023 before being replaced by Italian coach Roberto Mancini."
"After a brief stint with the France women's team, where he reached the quarterfinals of both the 2023 Women's World Cup and the 2024 Paris Olympics, Renard returned to Saudi Arabia."
"Saudi Arabia is set to compete in Group H at the 2026 World Cup, facing former champions Spain and Uruguay, along with debutants Cape Verde."
Herve Renard has been relieved of his duties as the coach of Saudi Arabia, just two months before the FIFA World Cup 2026. He previously led the team during the 2022 World Cup and has a notable coaching history, including two AFCON titles with Zambia and Ivory Coast. Renard's second tenure with Saudi Arabia began in late 2024 after a brief period coaching the France women's team. Reports suggest that Georgios Donis is being considered as his replacement.
