Tunisia coach Sabri Lamouchi faces possible dismissal after 5-1 loss to Sweden at World Cup

Tunisia suffered a 5-1 defeat to Sweden in their opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Monterrey, Mexico. The loss, following earlier preparation defeats to Austria (0-1) and Belgium (0-5), has sparked a crisis within the Tunisian Football Federation.

The federation is reportedly holding an emergency meeting to decide whether to remove French‑Tunisian coach Sabri Lamouchi. Possible interim options under discussion include former captain Wahbi Khazri or ex‑coach Mondher Kebaier, while the team remains in Group F alongside the Netherlands and Japan.
