Herve Renard resigns as Saudi Arabia football coach

"A legal settlement has been reached to end the contract between the two parties. The President and Board of Directors of SAFF wish Mr Renard every success in his future career."

Renard took over Saudi Arabia in July 2019, and led the team to a famous 2-1 win over eventual winners Argentina at the World Cup in Qatar last year.

"I would like to thank everybody in Saudi for their support during almost four years," Renard told reporters after a 2-1 defeat to Bolivia on Tuesday.

"I think I did the maximum with the team. I can't reach another level so I prefer to be honest with everybody. Thank you again it was fantastic time."
