TUNISIA SACKS COACH LAMOUCHI AFTER ONE WORLD CUP GAME

Tunisia have reportedly sacked head coach Sabri Lamouchi following just one match at the FIFA World Cup, in a swift decision that has shocked fans and analysts.

The move comes after Tunisia’s heavy defeat in their opening group game, a result that raised concerns over the team’s tactical approach and overall performance on the global stage.

Football officials in Tunisia said the decision was taken to “protect the team’s competitiveness” and to reassess the squad’s direction ahead of their remaining group fixtures.

Lamouchi, who was appointed to guide the North African side through the tournament, had faced pressure following the result, with critics pointing to defensive lapses and lack of cohesion in the team’s setup.

The national football federation is expected to name an interim coach immediately as Tunisia prepare for their next World Cup match, where they will be hoping to revive their campaign.

Analysts say the decision reflects the high-pressure environment of international football, where early results often determine coaching stability, especially in major tournaments.

Fans have reacted with mixed feelings, with some supporting the decision as necessary for survival, while others argue that the coach was not given enough time to implement his system.

Tunisia now face an uphill battle to remain in the competition, with their qualification hopes hanging in the balance after the opening setback.
