Official: Tunisia Appoint Hervé Renard as New Head Coach Following Sabri Lamouchi's Exit

Hervé Renard has officially been appointed as the new head coach of Tunisia for the remainder of their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign.

The appointment comes just hours after the Tunisian Football Federation dismissed Sabri Lamouchi in the aftermath of the Eagles of Carthage's disappointing defeat to Sweden in their opening match of the tournament.

Lamouchi, who took charge of Tunisia's first World Cup fixture, was relieved of his duties on Monday, with the federation moving swiftly to announce Renard as his successor in the early hours of Tuesday.

The decision marks a historic moment in World Cup history, as Tunisia become the first men's national team to change head coaches after playing just one match at the tournament.
