Hervé Renard has been dismissed as head coach of Saudi Arabia national team in a shocking decision just weeks before the World Cup. The French coach, who was initially expected to lead the team into the tournament, leaves his position with immediate effect following a decision from the federation’s leadership.
In the middle of this sudden development, reports indicate that the federation acted swiftly despite the proximity of the competition. According to sources, the decision came directly from the president, confirming that Hervé Renard will not be on the bench for the upcoming World Cup, creating uncertainty around the team’s preparation.
This unexpected change now forces Saudi Arabia into a race against time to appoint a new manager capable of leading the squad on the global stage. With the tournament fast approaching, the federation must quickly stabilize the situation and rebuild momentum after the departure of Hervé Renard.
