The Tunisia national football team loses to Japan 4-0 in the FIFA World Cup 2026, coach Hervé Renard takes full responsibility for the defeat. Renard said he came to lead the team in the World Cup and help the players perform better. He added that the players showed will in the beginning of the match, but they were punished from the first minutes, which made it difficult to return to the result. Renard failed to save the Carthage Eagles from defeat in his temporary appearance with the team after taking over from his fellow countryman Sabri Lamouchi. Tunisia became the first Arab team to exit the 2026 World Cup. Renard said the team did not succeed in protecting its goal, although the start of the match was acceptable, but the performance declined gradually and did not reach the required level against the strength of the opponent. Renard mentioned that the players must work to restore confidence to the group, confirming that they will work to improve performance in upcoming matches.
