The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) is reportedly engaged in advanced discussions with Herve Renard, exploring the prospect of him becoming the head coach of the national team.
Renard, renowned for his successful spells with African teams such as Zambia and Ivory Coast, emerges as a frontrunner following Rui Vitória’s departure in the aftermath of Egypt’s disappointing performance in the 2023 AFCON.
Despite Renard’s current role leading the French women’s national team, he is allegedly open to the opportunity of guiding the Egyptian team.
However, he remains committed to fulfilling existing contractual obligations, including the upcoming Olympics with the French women’s team.
Negotiations progress while Carlos Queiroz, the former national team manager, also surfaces as a contender for the coaching position.
The impending decision reflects Egypt’s determination to rejuvenate its football program for international success.
Enthusiasts eagerly await the official announcement, with the potential of Renard leading the team to inject excitement into Egypt’s football landscape.
The Pharaohs’ elimination in the Round of 16, marked by a penalty shootout loss to DR Congo, underscores the nation’s quest for a strategic and successful coaching appointment.
