Tunisia head coach Sabri Lamouchi is expected to be sacked following his side’s 5-1 defeat to Sweden in their opening match on Sunday. According to multiple reports, the Tunisian Football Federation is set to part ways with Lamouchi before the team’s second group-stage match against Japan next Sunday, in what would be an unprecedented move during the tournament. Tunisia will face Japan and then Netherlands in the last match of the group stage at the 2026 World Cup.Their debut game at the 2026 World Cup was a big setback, as it was heavily impacted by individual mistakes, starting from the opening goal scored seven minutes into the game by Yasin Ayari, who is of Tunisian descent by his father. At the 72nd minute, Sheffield Wednesday defender Yan Valery was replaced by Lamouchi and the player showed visible frustration against the head coach, raising questions regarding the dressing room.
