UnderdogCoach: Herve RenardBest result: Round of 16 (1994)Appearance #7

⚙️ Tactical Profile

The authors of Argentina 2022, the biggest upset in World Cup history. Renard's second spell keeps the audacious high-line offside trap and rapid counters, played by an all-domestic squad — skilful, brave, and physically light by world standards.

🔮 Expectations

With 2034 on the horizon, this tournament is development with a wink. Spain and Uruguay make the group a near-impossibility, but nobody — literally nobody — coasts against Saudi Arabia anymore. The stated dream: one more famous afternoon.
