“My Adventure Comes to an End” – Hervé Renard Resigns as Tunisia Head Coach After World Cup Exit

Hervé Renard has officially stepped down as Tunisia head coach following the Carthage Eagles' disappointing group-stage exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The experienced French manager announced his resignation in an emotional message on Instagram, bringing his short spell in charge of the North African nation to a close. In his farewell statement, the 57-year-old thanked the Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) for the opportunity to lead the national team on football's biggest stage.

Hervé Renard: "Before leaving, I want to extend my most sincere thanks to the FTF for allowing me to participate in the 2026 World Cup. It was an honor to wear the colors of Tunisia and to live this unforgettable experience.

I wish the best to this Tunisian team for the future. I am convinced that it will continue to grow, to thrill an entire nation, and to write beautiful pages in its history.

Thank you to everyone who accompanied me throughout this adventure.

I wish you much success for what lies ahead.

My adventure comes to an end."

Renard was appointed on June 16, 2026, the same day Tunisia opened their World Cup campaign with a heavy 5-1 defeat to Sweden. His tenure lasted only two matches, with Tunisia losing both fixtures, failing to score a goal, and conceding nine before being eliminated from the tournament.
