Hervé Renard has been reappointed as the manager of Saudi Arabia's national football team, succeeding Roberto Mancini, who left by mutual agreement after a disappointing tenure. Renard previously led the team from 2019 to 2023, achieving notable success, including a victory over Argentina in the 2022 World Cup. His new contract extends until the end of 2025, with the possibility of an extension through the 2027 Asian Cup. Renard will begin his second stint on October 27, starting with World Cup qualifiers against Australia and Indonesia. Saudi Arabia is currently third in their World Cup qualifying group and aims to improve their position to secure a place in the tournament. The announcement of Renard's return was made via social media, where he expressed his eagerness to continue his journey with the team.
