Hervé Renard, the head coach of the France women’s national team, has announced his intention to resign from his position following the Paris Olympic Games, aiming to focus on leading a men's national team to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Renard's decision comes amidst speculation that he is being courted by multiple national teams, including Nigeria, as a potential head coach. Renowned for his success in African football, having won two Africa Cup of Nations titles with Zambia and Ivory Coast, Renard's coaching prowess has made him a highly sought-after figure in international football.

Despite Nigeria's interest, Renard faces competition from several other countries eager to secure his services, reflecting his status as one of Africa's most esteemed coaches.
