A New Chapter for the Fennecs: Hervé Renard Emerges as top Contender
Hervé Renard, the man who could take the reins of the Algerian national team, is emerging as a leading candidate. According to reports from L’Équipe, the French tactician, with his wealth of experience and success in winning the Africa Cup of Nations with Zambia in 2012 and Ivory Coast in 2015, is reportedly the top choice for the Algerian Football Federation to succeed Djamel Belmadi.
The decision by Djamel Belmadi to step down as the coach of Algeria comes in the wake of the team’s recent elimination from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations after a defeat against Mauritania.
The president of the Algerian Football Federation, Walid Sadi, officially announced this change in a statement on Wednesday afternoon.
The current task is to find a new architect to guide the Fennecs into a new era, and Hervé Renard appears to be the preferred choice.
However, the situation is not without complications, as Hervé Renard is currently under contract with the French Federation, where he oversees the women’s national team until August 2024.
The progression of this potential appointment remains to be closely monitored, promising a new chapter for the Algerian national team.
