Hervé Renard coach of Algeria, the official response

While he is among the potential successors of Djamel Belmadi at the head of the Algerian selection, Hervé Renard has politely declined this possibility, for the moment…

The decision fell this Wednesday! The day after Algeria’s pitiful elimination in the African Cup of Nations, the departure of Djamel Belmadi was announced late in the afternoon by Walid Sadi, the president of the Algerian federation. “We reached an amicable agreement to dissolve the association and terminate the contract which binds the coach to the Algerian Football Federation”confirms the leader in a tweet.

As soon as the Greens were eliminated on Tuesday evening, several names began to circulate for the succession of Belmadi, whose departure seemed inevitable. Among them, we find that of Hervé Renard. Double winner of the CAN with Zambia then Ivory Coast, then coach of Morocco, the French technician would have the profile to try to revive the Fennecs. But he is currently not free.

Hervé Renard commented on these rumors to El-Bilad, an Algerian media outlet. “I am under contract with the French Federation until next August”confided the coach of the French women’s team, who would have thanked Algeria for its interest.

Hervé Renard is currently preparing for the 2024 Olympics with Les Bleues. But beyond this horizon, could he be interested in the Algerian selection, which is aiming for CAN 2025 and the 2026 World Cup? “I cannot comment on this matter.”replied Renard, which therefore leaves a small door open…
