Tunisia Sacks Coach Sabri Lamouchi After 5-1 Loss
The Tunisia National Football Team has terminated the contract of coach Sabri Lamouchi after a disappointing 5-1 loss to Sweden in their opening game of the 2026 World Cup, which took place early on Monday. This defeat marked a significant setback for the team, leading to Lamouchi's dismissal just five months into his tenure as head coach.
His firing is notable as he becomes the third coach in World Cup history to be sacked during a tournament. The decision reflects the team's urgent need to reassess its strategy and performance following a heavy defeat on such a prominent stage.
