Having spent the past three years as head coach of Morocco, Renard stepped down from his role earlier in the month after the nation failed to lift the AFCON trophy.
The 50-year-old is the only manager to have won the tournament with two different nations, having previously done so with Zambia in 2012 and Ivory Coast in 2015, but was unable to replicate his success with the Atlas Lions.
Renard was immediately linked with the coaching jobs of Egypt, Senegal and South Africa following his resignation, but has now reportedly taken over the head coach role with Saudi Arabia.
