PARIS, May 25 (Reuters) - Former Ivory Coast coach Herve Renard will take over at Lille from Rene Girard who is leaving by mutual consent after two seasons in charge of the Ligue 1 side.
"It's an honour to arrive at a club as prestigious as Lille," Renard told the French team's website (www.losc.fr).
Renard, who resigned as Ivory Coast coach three days ago, is to sign a three-year deal on Tuesday.
The Frenchman led Zambia and Ivory Coast to African Nations Cup titles in 2012 and 2015 respectively.
Lille finished eighth this season. (Reporting by Julien Pretot, editing by Tony Jimenez)
