In a press conference, Renard expressed his focus on his contractual obligations with FC Sochaux and emphasized the importance of respecting the club. He downplayed the significance of the rumors surrounding his potential appointment as the coach of the Moroccan national team, referring to it as “a lot of ado about not much.”
Renard also clarified his previous comments regarding his future in France, stating that his remarks about potentially leaving if Sochaux is relegated were taken out of context. Despite Renard’s efforts to downplay the speculation, his agent, Youssef Haijoub, asserts that Renard is the priority choice for Morocco and is expected to be appointed as coach once the new president of the Moroccan Football Federation is in place.
As Renard seeks to maintain focus on his current responsibilities, the situation highlights the complexities and uncertainties surrounding coaching positions in international football.
