Tunisia Axe Lamouchi and Turn to Renard After Sweden Rout
Tunisia have sacked head coach Sabri Lamouchi and brought in Herve Renard following a heavy 5-1 defeat to Sweden at the World Cup.
Tunisia have made a swift and dramatic managerial change at the World Cup, dismissing Sabri Lamouchi after the team's 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Sweden, according to Reuters.
The federation wasted no time in finding a replacement, turning to experienced coach Herve Renard to take charge. Renard is a well-known figure in African football and arrives with a significant reputation on the continental stage.
It is a brutal start to the tournament for Tunisia, who now face the task of rebuilding morale and finding a new direction under a new coach, all while their World Cup campaign is already in serious trouble after one result.
