Tunisia Sack Lamouchi After 5-1 World Cup Loss to Sweden
Tunisia have dismissed head coach Sabri Lamouchi following their heavy 5-1 defeat by Sweden in their Group F opener at the 2026 World Cup. The Tunisian Football Federation reportedly held an emergency meeting in Monterrey and decided to part ways with the 54-year-old just hours after the loss. Fans and analysts pointed to tactical errors and deeper squad issues as the real cause of the poor display. Lamouchi’s brief tenure began earlier this year and included only five matches, yielding a lone win over Haiti. Critics called the mid-tournament sack ill-timed and argued that systemic problems run much deeper. Possible replacements include former forward Wahbi Khazri and ex-national coach Mondher Kebaier. Tunisia now face a deadline to appoint a new boss before their next match against Japan on June 20.
