That's because Renard masterminded one of the World Cup's greatest ever shocks this week when his side - branded the competition's second-weakest by FIFA's world rankings - came from behind to beat South American champions and one of the tournament's fancied teams, Argentina, in an astonishing 2-1 triumph.
