Renard Faces Crucial Test with Saudi Arabia Against Serbia
Hervé Renard faces a crucial test with the Saudi national team before facing Serbia, amid growing doubts about his continuation in his position in the upcoming period.
The upcoming friendly match against Serbia represents a new evaluation point for the coaching staff, especially after the harsh 4-0 defeat against the Egyptian team in Jeddah.
The pressure on the French coach is increasing due to the decline in performance and the absence of a clear playing style, which has opened the door to various possibilities regarding his future.
The idea of dismissal remains on the table, but it is not the most likely option at the moment, given the limited time before the start of the 2026 World Cup and the team's need for technical stability.
Egypt's loss raises many questions about the readiness of the "Greens," especially as they are in a strong group that includes the national teams of Spain, Uruguay, and Cape Verde.
Criticism against Renard is mounting, with some seeing his tactical choices as unstable, reflecting a hesitation between relying on experienced players and new faces.
Facing Serbia remains a last chance to restore confidence and convince officials and fans of his ability to lead the team strongly in the upcoming World Cup.
