Saudi Arabia's coach Herve Renard has signed a new five-year deal after guiding the team to this year's World Cup in Qatar, football officials announced on Friday.
There were plenty of reasons to be pleased with Saudi Arabia’s successful qualification campaign for the 2022 World Cup.
Many of those involved in Saudi football will be feeling happy as they watch the country’s clubs in action during the AFC Champions League — but national team coach Herve Renard will surely be more pleased than most.
RIYADH: It is not hard to pick the darkest day for Saudi football on the global stage; the 8-0 thrashing by Germany at the 2002 World Cup finals will never be forgotten.
JEDDAH: “Great atmosphere, full house and people everywhere proud of their nation.” No one could have summed up Tuesday night at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium as well as Australia head coach Graham Arnold did following his side’s 1-0 defeat to Saudi Arabia in the final day of the Asian Qualifiers. Indeed, more than 50,000 people partied into the early hours of the morning, singing along with Rabeh Saqr, Dalia Mubarak and Ayedh who performed songs for the Kingdom, for the national team and for the people as the Green Falcons squad danced their hearts off on the pitch, accompanied by their charismatic coach Herve Renard.
JEDDAH: With Saudi Arabia’s place at the World Cup finals in Qatar already secured, the fans came to celebrate on Tuesday and the players responded by finishing their qualification campaign on a high in Jeddah.
It has been a long road to the World Cup for Saudi Arabia but now the team has qualified, preparation starts in earnest on Tuesday against Australia.
