Herve Renard quits Saudi Arabia and set to become France women's manager for World Cup

Herve Renard is set to be named as France women's head coach after leaving his role as Saudi Arabia men's manager.

Renard will be appointed as the French Football Federation looks to bring harmony to the squad after Corinne Diarce's reign ended with senior players stepping away from the national team. The 54-year-old managed Saudi Arabia at the 2022 men's World Cup, leading his team to a shock win over eventual World Champions Argentina.

But he has left his post, ahead of his expected confirmation as the new French women's team coach. Renard has also previously managed Ivory Coast, Lille and Morocco in the men's game, winning two Africa Cup of Nations with both the former and the Zambia national team.
