Khaberni - The Media and Communication Management at the Saudi Football Federation denied rumors about any intention to change the technical staff of the Saudi national team, emphasizing that such news is completely unfounded.
The management emphasized that all the news circulating about nominating alternative names or exploring new technical options has no basis in reality, and does not reflect the current situation within the team.
Media reports had indicated that the Saudi Football Federation's board is considering dismissing the French technical director Hervé Renard from coaching "the Green", and looking for a replacement coach before preparing for the finals of the 2026 World Cup, and that it is likely that the choice will be among the coaches of the Saudi Roshen League (Saudi Pro League), or a new coach managing for the first time in the Kingdom and meeting its level and the expectations of officials and the Saudi public, as well as the reputation and development of Saudi football.
Renard had faced severe criticism following the "the Green's" 0-1 defeat against their Jordanian counterparts in the semifinals of the last Arab Cup.
Renard had previously warned of the impact of the high number of foreign players in the Saudi league on the national team's performance, given the limited participation of key players with their clubs.
