Hervé Renard has confirmed that he has been dismissed from his role as Saudi Arabia head coach, just weeks before the 2026 World Cup.
The Frenchman, who previously guided Saudi Arabia to a famous victory over Argentina at the 2022 World Cup, expressed pride in his contribution to the national team’s qualification campaigns.
