Moine Choubani appointed Tunisia coach for 4 years
The Tunisian Football Federation announced the appointment of Moine Choubani as the national team coach for four years, replacing French manager Hervé Renard. This appointment comes after a disappointing performance in the 2026 World Cup, where Tunisia finished fourth in their group with no points, suffering three consecutive defeats (0-5 against Sweden, 0-4 against Japan, 1-3 against the Netherlands).
Why was Choubani chosen?
Choubani (45) is known for his successful club experience, leading Club Africain to two CAF Champions League titles and five Tunisian league titles. He also won the CAF Confederation Cup and the Moroccan league with RS Berkane. This appointment marks his first step into international football.
What challenges does he face?
Tunisia will prepare for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, starting in September. With the team scoring only 2 goals in the World Cup while conceding 12, Choubani faces the task of rebuilding confidence. The absence of players like Aymen Arous and Mohamed Neffati adds further challenges.
What are the fans' hopes?
After early exits from the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco and losing all World Cup matches, fans are looking for a turnaround. Choubani, who has led teams to success, carries high hopes of restoring Tunisia to the ranks of Africa's top teams.
