Tunisia have appointed Hervé Renard as head coach until the end of the 2026 FIFA World Cup following the dismissal of Sabri Lamouchi.
Lamouchi was sacked after Tunisia’s heavy 5-1 defeat to Sweden, with Renard set to begin his duties this evening.
The Tunisian Football Federation says discussions regarding a long-term contract will take place after the World Cup.
“The Tunisian Football Federation announces the appointment of Hervé Renard as the coach of the national team until the end of the 2026 World Cup, to continue his duties starting this evening, with the same financial privilege,” read Tunisia’s statement in part.
“The agreement also states to open negotiations after the end of participation in the World Cup, for long-term cooperation based on specific sporting goals.
“A media point for the new national selector will be organized in the practice stadium half an hour before the start of the training session.”
Tunisia are in Group F alongside Sweden, Japan and the Netherlands.
The Carthage Eagles are yet to collect a point in the group and will next face Japan, who drew 2-2 with the Netherlands in their opening match.
