Criticism has intensified within the media circles in Saudi Arabia towards the national team's coach, Hervé Renard, following the heavy 4-0 defeat against Egypt in a friendly match held in Jeddah, as part of the preparations for the 2026 World Cup.

The result sparked widespread debate, with analysts considering that the French coach no longer has sufficient solutions to improve the performance of the Saudi national team, given the decline in collective performance and the approach of major tournaments.

The program "Action with Walid" saw the proposal of candidates to succeed Renard, with Walid Regragui and Hussein Ammouta at the forefront, supported by analyst Imad Al-Salmi.

Observers believe that the nomination of these names reflects the growing presence of the Moroccan training school, which has achieved remarkable successes in recent years at both the Arab and international levels.

On the other hand, journalist Mohamed Al-Sheikh expressed his appreciation for the abilities of the nominated coaches but was cautious about the timing of any potential change, noting that the limited time before the World Cup might restrict any new coach's ability to quickly adapt and make an impact within the team.
