SGFrench coach Herve Renard has been appointed as the new head coach of the Ivory Coast national football team for a second stint. He previously led them to victory in the Africa Cup of Nations in 2015. Renard took over during the 2023 World Cup as an interim coach for Tunisia after they suffered a heavy defeat in their opening match but failed to improve their performance significantly. The Ivory Coast had decided not to renew the contract of their previous coach, Emerse Fae, after the team reached the knockout stages for the first time in four attempts but was eliminated by Norway in the round of 32. Renard has experience coaching several other African nations and previously managed France's women's team at the Paris Olympics. His goal now is to lead Ivory Coast to a third Africa Cup of Nations title, which will be hosted across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda next year. The team's qualification campaign begins soon with matches against Ghana and Somalia.
