Renard has been heavily criticised after Saudi Arabia were walloped 4-0 at home by Egypt before following that up with a defeat in Serbia. He was hardly a popular figure anyway after quitting the Saudi team three years to manage the French women's team before returning a year later. Ex-Morocco, Ivory Coast, and Zambia manager Renard has been linked with taking over at Ghana, who sacked Otto Addo just 72 days before the World Cup. We need a change in leadership and management ahead of the World Cup. "The Federation should go to Brendan Rodgers immediately and immediately allow him to take over all the preparations for the World Cup - he is the coach we need."
