Herve Renard

The French Football Federation is looking for a new coach for Les Bleues, since the announcement of the departure of Corinne Deacon pushed towards the exit door by many players in the group. For the past few days, a name has been coming back with insistence to recover the torch and take the reins of the French women’s team, facing the final phase of the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand (July 20-August 20) .

Barring a twist, the 3F will choose Hervé Renard to take over from the former technician from Clermont, information confirmed in half by the president of Olympique Lyonnais and member of the Executive Committee of the FFF Jean-Michel Aulas. Provided initially that the French coach frees himself in his commitment to Saudi Arabia, a selection with which the 54-year-old technician was under contract until the summer of 2027.

“I saw this team grow alongside me”

The suspense has ended. On Twitterthe native of Aix-les-Bains has formalized his break with the country of the Arabian Peninsula. “Having been the coach of the Saudi Arabian national team is a source of great pride for me. Since August 2019, I have had the chance to be an integral part of the life of this beautiful country. I saw this team grow alongside me and achieve a fabulous World Cup, this fantastic and unforgettable victory against Argentina. Very proud to have been able to show the world the progress and a good image of Saudi football. It’s time for me to fly to another horizon but with this memory engraved in me.

Now free to engage with the Blues, Hervé Renard recalled that the Saudis achieved the feat of dominating Argentina, future world champion, during the group stage of the 2022 World Cup (2-1). A victory without a future, Saudi Arabia finishing in fourth place in group C behind Argentina, Poland and Mexico synonymous with elimination at the gates of the knockout stages.
