Trabelsi sacked by Tunisia after last-16 Afcon exit

Tunisia’s head coach, Nabil Maaloul, has been sacked after the team’s disappointing performance in the Africa Cup of Nations, where they were knocked out in the last-16 stage.

The Tunisian Football Federation made the decision to part ways with Trabelsi following a meeting with the coaching staff and management.

The team’s early exit from the tournament came as a shock to many fans and pundits, as Tunisia was considered one of the favorites to go far in the competition.

Trabelsi had been in charge of the national team since 2018 and had guided Tunisia to a third-place finish in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

However, his failure to lead the team to further success in the 2021 tournament proved to be his downfall.

The search for a new head coach is now underway, with the Tunisian Football Federation keen to find a replacement quickly in preparation for future competitions.

Maaloul’s departure has sparked debate among fans and analysts, with some criticizing the decision to sack him while others believe it was necessary in order to bring fresh ideas and new leadership to the team.

Regardless of the differing opinions, one thing is clear – Tunisia will need to regroup and make changes if they hope to achieve success in future tournaments.

Only time will tell if the decision to sack Trabelsi was the right one, but for now, Tunisia’s national team will have to focus on rebuilding and moving forward.
