Hervé Renard is expected to leave his role as head coach of Saudi Arabia’s national football team after their upcoming friendly against Serbia.

The Ghana Football Association is watching the situation closely as they look for a new coach for Ghana’s national team.

This friendly is expected to be Renard’s last match as coach, marking the end of his time with the team. Since 2019, he has led Saudi Arabia and famously guided them to a 2-1 win over Argentina at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Renard has a strong record in Africa, having won Africa Cup of Nations titles with both Zambia and the Ivory Coast. This makes him a top candidate as Ghana aims to steady its team before the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

With little time before important preparations, Ghana is closely following news about Renard’s likely departure.
