Hervé Renard has been officially appointed as the new head coach of Tunisia, tasked with leading the team for the remainder of their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign.
This decision comes shortly after the Tunisian Football Federation parted ways with Sabri Lamouchi, following the team’s disappointing defeat to Sweden in their opening match of the tournament.
Lamouchi was dismissed from his position on Monday after overseeing Tunisia’s first World Cup fixture. The federation acted quickly, announcing Renard’s appointment in the early hours of Tuesday.
This marks a significant moment in World Cup history, as Tunisia becomes the first men’s national team to change head coaches after playing just one match at the tournament.
