French coach Hervé Renard will not have the chance to lead Cote d’Ivoire until the end of the CAN.

Hervé Renard will not lead the Ivorian selection during the knockout phase of the CAN. An approach was made in this direction, but no agreement was reached. And it was the person himself who confirmed the information in question.

Fox would have liked to go there

“The negotiations did not result favorably, it is because it should not happen. I would have loved it but destiny chose otherwise,” said the double African champion technician.

The idea of ​​calling on Renard appeared after the resignation of Jean-Louis Gasset. The Ivorian federation contacted its French counterpart to find out if a “loan” of the technician was possible. In the evening, RMC Sport announced that the FFF was not closed to the idea. Despite this desire, the different parties were unable to take action.

Renard will therefore remain fully invested in its mission with the French women’s team, with the Paris Olympics in focus. That said, following this deadline, it is not certain that he will continue in this role. A return to the African continent appears very plausible, particularly with serious interest in it from Algeria.
