Trabelsi sacked by Tunisia after last-16 Afcon exit

After a disappointing last-16 exit at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), Tunisia’s head coach, Faouzi Trabelsi, has been sacked by the Tunisian Football Federation.

The decision comes following Tunisia’s 2-1 defeat to Algeria in the knockout stage of the tournament, where they failed to reach the quarter-finals.

Trabelsi, who took over as head coach in 2019, had been under pressure following inconsistent performances and results during his tenure.

The Tunisian Football Federation released a statement thanking Trabelsi for his services but stating that a change was necessary to improve the team’s performance.

Speculation is now rife about who will be the next head coach of the Tunisian national team as they look to regroup and rebuild ahead of future competitions.

The decision to sack Trabelsi comes after a series of poor results in the lead-up to the Afcon tournament, including a defeat to Mali in the group stage.

Tunisia will now begin the search for a new head coach who can lead the team to success in future tournaments.

Fans and analysts have expressed mixed reactions to the news of Trabelsi’s sacking, with some believing it was the right decision while others feel he deserved more time to turn things around.

Overall, the Tunisian Football Federation is hoping that a new head coach will bring fresh ideas and a renewed sense of determination to the national team.
