Sabri Lamouchi’s future as head coach of Tunisia is under scrutiny following a disappointing 5–1 loss to Sweden in their opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The defeat has raised significant concerns within Tunisian football, prompting discussions about potential coaching changes.
Local media reports indicate that the Tunisian Football Federation has convened an emergency meeting to assess the current state of the national team. The outcome of this meeting could have critical implications for Lamouchi, who is facing increasing pressure from various stakeholders.
Additionally, discussions are underway regarding interim options, with veteran forward Wahbi Khazri being considered as a possible replacement in the event of a swift coaching transition ahead of Tunisia’s crucial next match against Japan.
