Tunisia Sack Coach Sabri Lamouchi After 5-1 Defeat to Sweden at FIFA World Cup 2026
Tunisia's head coach Sabri Lamouchi was dismissed following a 5-1 defeat to Sweden in their opening match of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The Tunisian Football Federation reportedly held an emergency meeting after the loss, which followed a series of disappointing results including a 5-0 friendly defeat to Belgium. Reports also indicate tensions within the team camp post-match. Former player Wahbi Khazri is among potential candidates to replace Lamouchi ahead of Tunisia's next game against Japan.
