Tunisia have sacked their head coach Sabri Lamouchi on Monday following their opening game of the 2026 World Cup on  Sunday, where they suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Sweden.

A statement on the Tunisian FA instagram read: “An agreement has been officially reached to dismiss coach Sabri Lamouchi”.

Lamouchi was appointed in January and took charge of just five games. 

His only win came in a 1-nil victory over Haiti, who began their World Cup campaign against Scotland at the weekend.

 There were reported rumours of discontent when they lost 5-nil to Belgium in their final warm-up game.

The former Nottingham Forest boss was appearing at his second World Cup, having taken charge of Ivory Coast in 2014 where they were knocked out in the group stages.

Tunisia play Japan in their second group game on Saturday before facing the Netherlands.

The Tunisian Fa added that “plans are under way ‌to appoint ‌Mondher Kebaier as the national team ‌ coach on an interim basis.”
