Tunisia's federation announced the departure of its national team coach just before the 2026 World Cup, making it the first qualified side without a head coach. The news was revealed through an official statement. They are now urgently seeking a replacement six months before the tournament starts.
Tunisia, already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, faces a crisis in its preparations after losing its national team head coach at a critical time. The federation issued a statement announcing the coach's departure, leaving the team without leadership six months before the tournament begins.
This is the first qualified side to be without a head coach in this cycle, according to reports. The urgency to find a replacement is clear, given the short time left before the World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Reasons for the departure were not specified, but the announcement emphasizes the immediate need to stabilize the bench.
The Tunisian team had secured its spot early, but this vacancy could impact its strategy. The federation has not named candidates, focusing on a quick decision.
