Al-Hilal fans boo Hervé Renard during Al-Taawoun clash | OneFootball

Hervé Renard was booed by Al-Hilal supporters during their Roshen League meeting with Al-Taawoun. According to Goal.com, the Saudi Arabia head coach was targeted by a protest inside Kingdom Arena.

Al-Hilal hosted Al-Taawoun on Saturday in the 27th round at Kingdom Arena. In the 50th minute, the stadium screen showed Renard and the national team coaching staff in the stands.

Jeers broke out as his image appeared, catching the Frenchman by surprise and reflecting anger at the Green Falcons’ recent results.

Renard has come under heavy criticism after March friendlies ended in defeats, 4-0 to Egypt and 2-1 to Serbia.

Fans of the national team, along with media figures and former players, have called for him to be sacked and for a new manager to lead the Green Falcons at the 2026 World Cup.

Names suggested as alternatives include Simone Inzaghi, Al-Hilal’s manager, as well as Jorge Jesus, Walid Regragui and Saad Al-Shehri. Saudi Arabia are in Group H of the World Cup with Spain, Uruguay and Cape Verde.
