Hervé Renard

Biography

Hervé Renard is a French football manager who has won the Africa Cup of Nations with two different countries (Zambia, Ivory Coast). He became Saudi Arabia manager in 2023. At international level, Hervé Renard is responsible for more than team selection. The job is about building clarity in short preparation windows, managing pressure, and giving Saudi Arabia a structure that can hold up over a full tournament. As the 2026 World Cup approaches, the central question is how Hervé Renard can turn that experience into a side that stays organized, adapts to game state, and gives Saudi Arabia a reliable competitive edge.
