High-profile resignation before the 2026 World Cup? Hervé Renard could leave Saudi Arabia coaching job as early as today
Saudi Arabia might soon be left without a head coach.
Details: According to Ahmad Al-Man, legendary French manager Hervé Renard is on the verge of losing his position. Reports suggest that today's friendly against Serbia could be Renard's last match at the helm of the Green Falcons.
Rumors of Renard's dismissal reignited after a crushing 0-4 defeat to Egypt last Friday. Even though the Frenchman successfully led the team to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation's leadership is deeply dissatisfied with the team's performance and lack of progress in recent matches.
Hervé Renard, who returned to the squad in October 2024 to fix the mistakes of Roberto Mancini, has always enjoyed immense trust thanks to the historic victory over Argentina at the 2022 World Cup. However, Saudi Arabia is now seriously considering possible successors.
It's worth noting that the Serbia vs Saudi Arabia match is scheduled for today, March 31, at 18:00 Central European Time.
Reminder: Saudi Arabia has launched an entire project to bring in Didier Deschamps
