Herve Renard has resigned as coach of Morocco after three and a half years in charge.
The Royal Moroccan Football Federation earlier this week denied reports the Frenchman had stepped down, but Renard used social media on Sunday to confirm he has left his post.
The 50-year-old took over the Atlas Lions in February 2016 and guided them to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, their first qualification in 20 years.
Having led both Zambia and Ivory Coast to Africa Cup of Nations glory during his coaching career and had a successful start to his Morocco tenure, much was expected of Renard in this year’s tournament in Egypt.
