  • Tunisia's national football team coach, Sabri Lamouchi, is reportedly facing dismissal following the team's loss to Sweden.
  • Local media suggest the Tunisian federation might sack Lamouchi before the group stage concludes, which would be a rare early departure from a World Cup.
  • The team's performance has drawn criticism, putting Lamouchi's position under scrutiny.

Tunisian national football team coach Sabri Lamouchi is reportedly on the brink of dismissal following the team's defeat against Sweden. Several local media outlets have reported that the Tunisian Football Federation is considering terminating Lamouchi's contract before the conclusion of the group stage matches.

Such a move would mark a significant and potentially unprecedented event, being the first time a national team coach is sacked so early in a World Cup tournament. The team's performance in the competition has apparently fallen short of expectations, leading to intense scrutiny of Lamouchi's leadership and tactical decisions.

The loss to Sweden appears to have been the final straw for the federation, prompting urgent discussions about the team's future direction. While no official confirmation has been issued, the widespread reporting suggests a strong possibility of Lamouchi's imminent departure. The Tunisian team's campaign is now overshadowed by uncertainty regarding its coaching staff.
