Herve Renard, who won the Africa Cup of Nations with both Zambia and Ivory Coast, has been unveiled as Saudi Arabia's new national team coach.
Renard stood down as Morocco's coach earlier this month after the team's early exit from the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The 50-year-old had taken to social media in the past week to dispel rumours about his next post, saying it would "not be on the African continent."
He was thrilled to share the news of his Saudi role after it had been announced on Monday.
"Happy to start a new adventure in Saudi Arabia on a new continent!" Renard wrote.
The Saudi team highlighted Renard's achievements in Africa when unveiling him as their new coach.
"The first coach in history to achieve the African Cup with two different teams," they announced as they listed his accomplishments.
