Renowned French coach Hervé Renard finds himself at the center of a bidding war as five African nations set their sights on securing his managerial expertise following the conclusion of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON 2024).
Currently under contract with the French Football Federation (FFF) until July of this year, Renard appears intrigued by the prospect of embarking on a new coaching venture within the African football landscape.
Egypt, Algeria, Ivory Coast, Tunisia, and Senegal have all emerged as contenders keen to enlist the services of the esteemed coach, currently steering the French women’s team.
The race for the “White Wizard” is in full swing, with Egypt emerging as a frontrunner, displaying a willingness to make significant financial overtures to reclaim its dominant status on the African continent.
Renowned for his impressive track record on the African stage, Hervé Renard achieved the remarkable feat of clinching the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) title with two different nations.
In 2012, he guided Zambia to a historic continental triumph, securing their first title through a remarkable journey culminating in a victory over Ivory Coast in a dramatic penalty shootout.
Renard replicated his success in 2015 with the Ivory Coast national team, leading the “Elephants” to glory once again in a pulsating final against Ghana, ultimately decided by penalties.
Beyond Zambia and Ivory Coast, Renard has also helmed the national teams of Angola and Morocco, contributing to his extensive and distinguished coaching portfolio on the African continent.
As the suspense builds and the bidding war intensifies, the destination of the “White Wizard,” Hervé Renard, remains uncertain.
Football enthusiasts across the continent await the denouement of this managerial saga, eager to witness the next chapter in Renard’s illustrious coaching career.
