Herve Renard has been named France Women's head coach, the French Football Federation announced on Thursday.
The Frenchman resigned from his position as Saudi Arabia men's coach on Tuesday, having overseen their famous win over eventual winners Argentina in the group stage of last year's World Cup in Qatar.
He has signed a contract that runs until August 2024.
Renard replaces Corinne Diacre, who was sacked from her position as head coach earlier in March, one day after she released a statement claiming there was a "violent and dishonest" smear campaign against her.
The 54-year-old will lead Les Bleus into this summer's World Cup in Australia in New Zealand, which starts on July 20. France are in Group F and will face Brazil, Jamaica and Panama.
