Now free of any contract, after the elimination of the Bleues in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Olympics, Hervé Renard already has a new plan.
The page has already been turned for Hervé Renard. The French women’s team has barely been eliminated from the Paris 2024 Olympic tournament, after its defeat in the quarter-finals against Brazil (0-1), and the now ex-coach of Les Bleues is reportedly working behind the scenes to find a new position. And one track, leading him to a return to Africa, is said to be particularly advanced.
According to Daily Post Nigeriathe 55-year-old technician is currently negotiating with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) the terms of a one-year contract. In a bad way in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the Super Eagles have not had a coach since mid-June and the sudden dismissal of Finidi George, who had replaced José Santos Peseiro a month earlier.
Hervé Renard back in Africa?
Journalist Adepoju Tobi Samuel, followed by more than 115,000 subscribers on X (ex-Twitter), claims that Hervé Renard would ask for a monthly salary of 125,000 dollars, or about 1.4 million euros per year, to sit on the Nigeria bench. The native of Aix-les-Bains would then make a nice financial transaction, he who received 400,000 euros per year at the head of the Bleues.
Hervé Renard, who had been contacted by Côte d’Ivoire in the middle of CAN 2024 and whose name has also circulated in Algeria, has won the CAN twice, with Zambia in 2012 and the Elephants in 2015. He also participated in the 2018 World Cup with Morocco and his journey to the 2022 World Cup with Saudi Arabia, which beat Argentina (2-1), left its mark.
