Sabri Lamouchi is dismissed as manager of his World Cup 2026 team after only one group-stage match. According to reports, the change follows the team’s opening game, which ended in a 5-1 defeat. The sack comes immediately after the loss, with the team failing to earn points in its first appearance of the tournament. Both outlets describe the same sequence of events: Lamouchi leads the team into its group match, the team suffers a heavy 5-1 defeat, and management makes a decision to replace him shortly afterward. The reports do not provide further details about an interim appointment, the club or national association’s stated reasons beyond the result, or whether the decision is tied to broader performance concerns. The dismissal means the team enters the remainder of its group campaign under new leadership, after starting with a large margin loss and an early managerial change.
