😳 National team boss sacked less than two months before World Cup Saudi Arabia’s national team has fired coach Hervé Renard less than two months before the start of the World Cup, according to RMC Sport. Rumors about the Frenchman’s departure had been circulating for a few days, but confirmation reportedly only came this Friday. Renard managed Saudi Arabia at the 2022 World Cup, when the team defeated Argentina in its opening match.
The Saudis were eventually eliminated after losses to Mexico and Poland. After the World Cup, he left the team to take charge of the French women’s national team at the 2024 Olympics. But he later returned to lead the Saudi national team.
Saudi Arabia is in Group H of the World Cup alongside Spain, Cape Verde, and Uruguay. Its opening match will be against Uruguay on June 15. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
