He replaced my father: Hervé Renard's moving confession about Claude Le Roy

A few days before reuniting with the Ivory Coast Elephants, Hervé Renard paid an emotional tribute to Claude Le Roy, whom he regards as his mentor and a father figure. Renard expressed his gratitude to Le Roy for opening up the African continent to him and for his influence on his career. This statement comes as Renard returns to Ivory Coast, eleven years after leading the team to continental victory in 2015.
