Sources report that Tunisia have turned to veteran coach Hervé Renard to oversee the remainder of their World Cup campaign. The decision follows a heavy 5-1 defeat to Sweden and reported unrest within the squad. Renard, 57, is set to arrive in Monterrey on Tuesday and will conduct his first training session that evening. This appointment marks his third appearance at a World Cup finals with a third different nation. The Tunisian Football Federation officially confirmed Lamouchi’s departure late Monday. His exit came amid tensions with some players and officials after the opening loss. Assistant coach Wahbi Khazri will remain on the staff to support the transition under the new manager.
