The Saudi Arabian team was left without a head coach at a critical moment - just two months before the start of the 2026 World Cup.

According to the French publication RMC Sport, the President of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation especially praised the radical decision about the revolution.. It appears that Herve Renard himself learned about his exhibition just today, 17th quarter.

For the 57-year-old Frenchman, this is another stage of work on the part of the Saudi national team. Having turned to the team at the beginning of 2024, we have behind us the successful confirmation of work with the French national team woman, who survived until the quarterfinals of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Renard was most remembered by patients in Saudi Arabia during the 2022 emergency. Then, under his leadership, the team created one of the biggest sensations of the tournament, defeating the Argentine national team (2:1), which later won the world champion title. However, this triumph did not allow the Saudis to leave the group after further defeats to Poland (0:2) and Mexico (1:2).

The catalyst for the uncontested election was probably the results of the remaining control matches. Preparations for the upcoming World Cup were very close:

the team suffered a miserable defeat to Egypt with a score of 0:4, and then lost to Serbia - 1:2.

After these matches, the local press was actively aware of a possible change of coach. Finally, Renard himself publicly began to sing that he knows nothing about such plans for servicing, but in less than two years these plans have become a reality.

At the World Championship 2026, the team competes in group H, where they will be seriously tested in matches against national teams Uruguay, Spain and Cape Verde.
