Tunisia sack their manager in the middle of the World Cup!

Thunderclap at the World Cup!

Shockwaves at the World Cup! Just a few hours after the heavy 5-1 defeat to Sweden in their opening World Cup match, the Tunisian Football Federation decided to relieve Sabri Lamouchi of his duties!

Appointed head of the Tunisian national team after a failed AFCON campaign under Sami Trabelsi, the former French international was unable to get the Eagles of Carthage back on track.

Tunisia had already endured a very difficult build-up, with defeats to Austria (1-0) and Belgium (5-1), and this loss, the heaviest in its World Cup history, was the final blow for the coach. 

Wahbi Khazri is expected to take over on an interim basis until the end of the World Cup. As a reminder, Tunisia still faces a very tough schedule, with Japan and the Netherlands still to come.
