In mid‑July 2026 the Tunisian Football Federation reduced disciplinary sanctions for defender Mohamed Amine Tougaï and forward Firas Chaouat, allowing both to resume competition. At the same time the federation settled a dispute with former club coach Moïne Chaâbani over his release clause with Moroccan side RS Berkane.

On 28 July 2026 the federation announced Chaâbani’s appointment as head coach of the Tunisia national team on a four‑year contract running to 30 June 2027, succeeding Hervé Renard, who had taken over after Sabri Lamouchi’s dismissal following a 5‑1 loss to Sweden in the opening match of the 2026 World Cup. Chaâbani, the seventh head coach since 2024, brings a record that includes CAF Champions League titles with Espérance (2018‑19) and recent Moroccan league and Confederation Cup success with RS Berkane.

The official statement reiterated the four‑year term and emphasized the goal of restoring confidence ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers beginning in September. Chaâbani now leads Tunisia into the next qualification cycle, following a disastrous World Cup campaign that ended with three defeats and a 2‑12 goal‑difference.
