Today coach of Les Bleues, Hervé Renard remembered with emotion his feat achieved a year ago with Saudi Arabia against Argentina (2-1), during the 2022 World Cup.
In just a few months, Hervé Renard played in two World Cups. If he led the France team during the 2023 World Cup organized between July 20 and August 20, the current coach of the Bleues also experienced the 2022 World Cup on the bench of Saudi Arabia. During the competition then organized in Qatar, Hervé Renard enjoyed one of the greatest emotions of his coaching career, with a stunning victory against Argentina (2-1). A year later, he hasn’t forgotten anything.
On social networks, the tactician has posted several messages since Wednesday, the anniversary of the authentic feat of the Saudi selection. “ Unforgettable memories. One year ago“, wrote Hervé Renard, in the caption of a video sequence showing him on the sidelines during this famous meeting.

As a reminder, on this famous November 22, 2022, Argentina took the advantage very early in the game, thanks to a penalty converted by Lionel Messi (10th). Trailing at the break, the Saudis were then shaken up by the muscular, determined, but also optimistic talk of their coach.

Historic victory
A sequence that went viral, which had the advantage of waking up a Saudi Arabia that had returned with the desire to overthrow mountains. A desire rewarded by two goals scored in the space of five minutes, synonymous with a historic victory for Hervé Renard and his men, against the future world champions. A memory which remains forever engraved in the memory of the French coach.
