Announced as the possible future coach of the Senegal team by the team, Hervé Renard does not, however, present the profile established by the leaders of the Teranga Lions, as explained by a Togolese journalist.
After having managed the French women’s team at the 2023 Women’s World Cup and the women’s football tournament Paris Olympic Games 2024Hervé Renard now dreams of leading a selection to the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, after his great adventure at the head of Saudi Arabia in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This is what he explained to The team in the wake of his departure from the Blue. The white shirt technician should not take over the reins of Senegal.
While Aliou Cissé was landed from his post as coach of the Teranga Lions (eight months from the end of his contract), The team thus mentioned the track leading to Hervé Renard. The 56 -year -old coach would have no trouble relaunching the 2021 African champions led by Sadio Mané. He is a double winner of the CAN, with Zambia and Côte d’Ivoire, and lives in Dakar, with his wife, a Senegalese. Her children are educated in the country’s capital.
Omar Daf rather than his fox
Now Hervé Renard does not present at all the profile established by Senegalese decision -makers (the Minister of Sports and Culture and Youth Khady Diene Gaye). Togolese journalist Henri Akodo explains it on RMC: “It will be difficult to see an expatriate coach on the bench of the Senegalese selection, I spoke with members of the federation, the profile, it is a local coach, even if Hervé Renard is a respected coach, who won the CAN twice, and even if he lives in Dakar, it would be very complicated because there was a real desire to entrust the responsibilities to a national coach”.
Since Habib Beye is still waiting for his luck in Ligue 1, after missing the checkback last summer in the wake of his departure from the Red Star, it is Omar Daf who would be the priority. The former side of Sochaux and the epic of the Lions of Bruno Metsu up to the quarterfinals of the 2002 World Cup, was the deputy coach of Aliou Cissé at the 2018 World Cup and is under contract in Amiens until next June. DAF in charge of the national team, “It’s a secret of the Polichinelle” For Henri Akodo, who recently commented on the euro in Germany for New World TV, the audiovisual group which notably employs Wilfrid Mbappé as a consultant.
