Tunisia’s FIFA World Cup campaign commenced with a disappointing 5-1 defeat, prompting the federation to dismiss head coach immediately after the match. The team has swiftly identified Hervé Renard as his replacement.
Details: According to Romain Molina, Renard has been offered a long-term project that goes beyond the World Cup, along with several guarantees regarding his role as manager.
Renard, who will now take charge of his fifth African national team, has previously coached Zambia, Angola, Ivory Coast, and Morocco.
Tunisia’s upcoming matches include a fixture against Japan on June 21, followed by a game against the Netherlands on June 26. In another Group Stage match, Spain and Cape Verde ended in a 0-0 draw, marking a notable record for the African nation.
Egypt also kicked off their World Cup journey, facing Belgium in their first Group Stage fixture, where the Pharaohs’ star player achieved a significant milestone.
