Saudi Arabia's national football team has parted ways with coach Hervé Renard less than two months before the World Cup, as reported by RMC Sport. Renard had been at the helm during the 2022 World Cup, where he famously led the team to a stunning victory over Argentina in their opening match. However, the team was eventually eliminated after subsequent losses to Mexico and Poland. Following the last World Cup, Renard took a position with the French women's national team for the 2024 Olympics but later returned to lead the Saudi squad. As they prepare for the upcoming World Cup, Saudi Arabia finds itself in Group H, competing against Spain, Cape Verde, and Uruguay, with their first match set for June 15 against Uruguay.
