Tunisia’s football federation has appointed Hervé Renard as the new head coach of the national team, replacing Sabri Lamouchi following a disappointing 5-1 defeat against Sweden. Renard’s appointment is initially for a short-term “commando mission” lasting until the end of the current World Cup campaign. This swift change in leadership aims to revitalize the team’s performance and address concerns after the heavy loss. Nabil Djellit, a source close to the situation, confirmed the temporary nature of Renard’s contract. The move signals a desire for immediate impact and a potential long-term assessment following the World Cup. Renard brings significant international coaching experience, having previously managed several African national teams, including winning the Africa Cup of Nations with both Zambia and Ivory Coast. The Tunisian federation hopes his expertise will improve the team’s prospects.
