Tunisia national football team coach Sabri Lamouchi has been sacked after a 1-5 loss to Sweden in the opening match of the 2026 World Cup. The decision to sack Lamouchi has been finalized, with Mondher Kebaier expected to take over as the new coach. Kebaier has experience in the African Cup of Nations and has a good understanding of the Tunisian national team. This is the second time in the history of the Tunisian national team that a coach has been sacked during a World Cup, with the last instance being in 1998 in France. The Tunisian Football Federation is racing against time to find a suitable replacement to lead the team in the remaining matches of the tournament. Mondher Kebaier is expected to lead the team in the upcoming match against Mexico.
