Renard Hints at Departure from Saudi Green Team with an African Team Watching
Wednesday 01-04-2026
Doubts are rising about Hervé Renard's future with the Saudi national team, as he seriously considers ending his tenure during the current period amid increasing pressures.

This comes after a series of disappointing results, most notably the heavy 4-0 loss to Egypt, followed by a 2-1 defeat to Serbia during the March preparatory camp.

French press reports indicated that the coach is leaning towards leaving his position, as he feels a lack of alignment with the current project the team is pursuing.

Renard is carefully considering his future, especially with the increasing criticism regarding the technical performance and declining results, in addition to his lack of complete conviction in some elements of the current lineup.

On the other hand, several African national teams are monitoring the situation of the French coach, with Ghana emerging as one of the most interested in hiring him in the upcoming phase.

Renard has an impressive record in the African continent, having previously led the national teams of Zambia and Ivory Coast, achieving notable successes.

The Saudi national team is preparing to participate in the 2026 World Cup within Group H, alongside the teams of Spain, Uruguay, and Cape Verde.
