Hervé Renard was appointed as the head coach of the Tunisia national football team in 2022, succeeding Mondher Kebaier. The decision was made by the Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) after Tunisia's performance in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
Renard, a French manager known for his success with Zambia and Ivory Coast, signed a contract that included leading Tunisia to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. His appointment was seen as a strategic move to leverage his experience in African football.
The behind-the-scenes negotiations involved discussions about his salary, coaching staff, and performance targets. Renard's tenure ended in 2024 after mutual agreement with the FTF, following Tunisia's early exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
