Saudi Arabia appointed Hervé Renard as head coach, and he guided them to qualification for the 2026 World Cup, but he will not be there for the tournament.
Details: According to information from RMC Sport, Saudi Arabian officials have decided to end their cooperation with head coach Hervé Renard. Just two months before the World Cup, the national team is left without a manager.
It had previously been reported that the Saudi Arabian Football Federation introduced an emergency action plan to prepare for the possible sudden departure of Hervé Renard from his role as national team head coach.
Although not long ago, the French manager had decided to remain in charge of Saudi Arabia and continue preparing the team for the 2026 World Cup.
Reminder: It appears that Real Madrid’s leadership have identified the ideal candidate to restore the club to its former glory — and it is a World Cup-winning football champion.
