🚨 Tunisia sack their manager mid-World Cup!

Thunderbolt at the World Cup!

Shockwaves at the World Cup! Just a few hours after the heavy 5-1 defeat to Sweden in their opening World Cup match, the Tunisian Football Federation decided to relieve Sabri Lamouchi of his duties!

Appointed as head of the Tunisian national team after a disappointing AFCON campaign under Sami Trabelsi, the former France international failed to get the Eagles of Carthage back on track.

Tunisia had already endured a very difficult build-up, with defeats to Austria (1-0) and Belgium (5-1), and this loss, the heaviest in its World Cup history, was the final blow for the coach. 

According to Fabrizio Romano, Mondher Kebaier is expected to take over on an interim basis until the end of the World Cup. As a reminder, Tunisia still have a very tough schedule ahead, with Japan and the Netherlands left to face.
