Tunisia is moving to sack head coach Sabri Lamouchi following his only game in charge at the World Cup, according to reports from Nigeria’s Vanguard and The Athletic. Both outlets describe the decision as immediate, with Lamouchi’s departure coming after Tunisia’s first match in the tournament. Vanguard reports that Tunisia have already sacked him after that single game. The Athletic similarly reports that Tunisia are set to fire him after one World Cup match, highlighting the rarity of such a move. The reports also note Lamouchi’s age, listing him as 54, and frame the outcome as potentially making him the first manager dismissed after just one match at a World Cup. No additional details are provided in the sources about who will replace him, the reasons beyond the timing of the dismissal, or the match result itself. The accounts are consistent that the coaching change is tied directly to Tunisia’s early World Cup performance under Lamouchi.
