Tunisia changes coach after debacle, Hervé Renard takes over the team

The Tunisian national football team will be led at the 2026 World Cup by French coach Hervé Renard. The federation's leadership made the change after the opening 1:5 defeat to Sweden, following which the previous coach Sabri Lamouchi departed. Le Figaro ↗

The decision came right in the middle of the ongoing tournament, and according to available information was announced shortly after Tunisia's unsuccessful start to the championship. The Tunisian federation stated that the contract with Lamouchi was terminated by mutual agreement. This is an unusual intervention into the coaching staff after just a single match played at the World Cup. sport.sk ↗

Like Lamouchi, Renard is a French coach. He most recently worked with the Saudi Arabia national team. His task will be to stabilize the team after the heavy defeat and prepare it for the next group-stage match. Several reports described the situation as curious, also because Tunisia dealt with repeated changes to the coaching position within a single evening. idnes.cz ↗

For Tunisia, the coaching change is an attempt to salvage its chances in the tournament after a significant setback in its opening appearance. The next match will show whether Renard's rapid arrival brings a change in the team's performance and keeps the national team in contention for qualification. sport.cz - fotbal ↗
