Renard Confirms Commitment to Saudi Arabia National Team Contract

The head coach of the Saudi Arabian national football team, Frenchman Hervé Renard, confirmed that he is committed to his current contract with 'the Greens' and will continue his work until its end, stating that he will leave if he is notified that his mission is over. Renard said in a press conference held yesterday to discuss the match between Saudi Arabia and the UAE: 'I have a contract with the Saudi national team, and I will respect it until the end. If I am told to leave, I will go elsewhere. This is normal in the world of football, and it is not my decision.' The head coach of the Saudi national team expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's performance at the Arab Cup, noting that the upcoming participation in the 2026 World Cup will be different in terms of preparation and ambitions, and said: 'We realize that we did not succeed in reaching the final of the Arab Cup.' When asked about the reasons for the national team's lack of titles since 2003, the national team coach emphasized the need to double the efforts in the next stage. The coach of 'the Greens' stressed that Saudi football is full of talents, indicating that the next stage requires greater efforts to restore titles and achieve the desired results.
