Talks have reignited between the Tunisian Football Federation and coach Moine Chaabani, who is currently managing RS Berkane, for him to take the helm of the Carthage Eagles.
Initial discussions had stalled because Chaabani was under contract with RS Berkane, which included a clause for financial penalties if he left. However, Tunisian radio station Mosaique FM reported that recent communications between the Tunisian federation and prominent Moroccan football officials could help resolve this issue and allow negotiations to proceed.
The current focus of these discussions is on the contract's duration and the specific sporting objectives expected of Chaabani should he be appointed. Financial terms are not anticipated to be a point of contention. The outcome of these negotiations is expected in the coming days.
