Hervé Renard Enters World Cup History
The French coach Hervé Renard has become the second French coach in history to lead at least three different national teams in the World Cup, after taking charge of the Tunisian national team during the current tournament, with his debut set against Japan.
Only the late coach Henri Michel surpasses him in this achievement, as he holds a more distinguished record, having managed four different national teams in the World Cup: France in 1986, Cameroon in 1994, Morocco in 1998, and then Ivory Coast in 2006.
As for Renard, who has had a long career with African and Arab national teams, he made his first World Cup appearance with Morocco in 2018, before leading Saudi Arabia to the 2022 Qatar edition, which witnessed a historic victory over Argentina. He then returned to the World Cup with Tunisia in 2026.
This exceptional figure confirms Renard's status as one of the most prominent French "globetrotters" in the world of coaching, placing his name alongside Henri Michel in a rare list of coaches who have made their mark in the World Cup with more than one team.
