Tunisia replace Lamouchi with Hervé Renard during World Cup

Tunisia have sacked coach Sabri Lamouchi and appointed Hervé Renard to take charge for the remainder of the 2026 World Cup. Renard, who has previously led Morocco and Saudi Arabia at major tournaments, steps in mid-campaign — a rare and disruptive move at this level of the game. Sacking a head coach mid-tournament signals serious problems inside the camp and leaves Renard minimal time to change anything before Tunisia's next match.
