Tunisia have dismissed head coach Sabri Lamouchi after just one match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup following their crushing defeat to Sweden.
The 54-year-old’s position came under immediate pressure after Tunisia suffered a 5-1 loss to Sweden in Monterrey, with the Scandinavian side dominating the contest from start to finish.
Lamouchi watched as his team were comprehensively outplayed, leaving supporters frustrated by the performance and raising serious concerns about Tunisia’s prospects in the tournament.
Reports indicate that Tunisian football authorities moved swiftly in the aftermath of the defeat, deciding to part ways with the former midfielder after only one World Cup fixture.
The decision follows what many viewed as a disastrous start to Tunisia’s campaign, with the heavy loss leaving them facing an uphill task to progress from the group stage.
With the tournament still ongoing, Tunisia must now appoint a replacement quickly as they seek to revive their World Cup hopes and avoid an early exit.
