Tunisia sacked coach Sabri Lamouchi after 5‑1 World Cup loss to Sweden

At the 2026 FIFA World Cup Group F match on 15 June, Tunisia were beaten 5‑1 by Sweden, with defender Omar Rekik scoring the sole Tunisian goal.

Following the heavy defeat, the Tunisian Football Federation dismissed head coach Sabri Lamouchi, ending his five‑match tenure. The federation named former national team strategist Mondher Kebaier as interim manager for the remainder of the tournament. Tunisia now face Japan on 20 June and the Netherlands later, needing points to stay in contention while dealing with internal tensions that have been described as a toxic atmosphere within the squad.
