Tunisia have parted ways with head coach Sabri Lamouchi following the team’s crushing 5–1 defeat to Sweden at the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The development was reported by football journalist Romain Molina.
The decision was taken shortly after the Group F clash, with Tunisian football authorities moving swiftly in response to the disappointing performance.
Lamouchi becomes the first manager to lose his job at the 2026 World Cup, highlighting the intense pressure teams face on football’s biggest stage.
Tunisia struggled throughout the encounter against Sweden, with defensive lapses proving costly as the North African side failed to recover in a one-sided contest.
The heavy defeat has cast doubt over Tunisia’s hopes of progressing beyond the group stage, prompting officials to make an immediate managerial change in a bid to revive their campaign.
The federation is yet to announce Lamouchi’s replacement.
