Two-time CAF African Nations Cup-winning coach Herve Renard has left his role with Côte d'Ivoire as reports linking him with the Lille job gather momentum.
The 46-year-old Frenchman guided Les Eléphants to glory in Equatorial Guinea having previously clinched the cup with Zambia in 2012, but he now looks set to return to club management in his homeland. "After this success, I've told myself that it will be difficult to do any better and that I had to find another challenge," he told fedivoir.com on Friday.
Following this week's confirmation of Rene Girard's imminent departure from mid-table Lille, former Cambridge boss Renard could be installed at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy and lead a fresh charge for UEFA Champions League football.
