Renard clinched the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast last year before heading to take charge of Lille in Ligue 1, but he was sacked in November.

The 47-year-old had been linked with the Kazakhstan job but has agreed a deal with Morocco which is due to last until the 2018 World Cup, after Zaki left his post by mutual consent last week.

Renard was presented at a media conference on Tuesday in Rabat.

His first competitive game in charge will be in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying against Cape Verde Islands on March 22.
