Frenchman Renard Named Ivory Coast Coach for Second Spell
Renard, who won the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast, replaces Emerse Fae after the federation did not renew his deal.
- On Tuesday, the Ivorian federation announced that French coach Herve Renard has returned to lead Ivory Coast, the team he guided to the 2015 African title.

- Ivory Coast begins its qualifying campaign next month with a clash against Ghana, followed four days later by a Group C contest against Somalia.
