The Saudi Arabian Football Federation ended its relationship with coach Hervé Renard and the national team after a decisive meeting that unexpectedly resulted in his dismissal.

This step came despite previous assurances from Yasser Al-Misehal to grant the coach confidence and continuation, which raised many questions within the sports community.

The data indicates that the decline in the team's results, especially after the heavy friendly loss against the Egyptian team, played a significant role in shaking confidence in the technical project.

The pressure from the public and media, along with doubts about the coach's ability to handle upcoming challenges, also contributed to hastening the end of the relationship between the two parties.

The decision coincided with reports suggesting Renard's potential involvement in coaching the Ghana national team for the 2026 World Cup, which further complicated the situation regarding his future.

Amid these developments, the name Georgios Donis has emerged as one of the leading candidates for the position, among a list of options currently being considered by the federation.

The dismissal of Renard opens the door to a new phase for the Green Falcons at a critical time before the World Cup, amid public anticipation to know the identity of the next coach capable of leading the team.
