Tunisia’s new head coach Hervé Renard begins his World Cup spell with limited preparation time as the team turns its attention to its Group F game against Japan. Renard, 57, replaces Sabri Lamouchi after Tunisia is beaten 5-1 by Sweden, which leads to Lamouchi’s dismissal. According to reports, Renard arrives in Monterrey and holds his first practice with the squad on Tuesday, with only four days to prepare for the Saturday match. In early comments after arriving at the team’s training base, Renard emphasizes focus on Tunisia itself, saying the squad needs to concentrate on its own performance rather than external factors. The change follows a difficult start to Group F for Tunisia, prompting the coaching switch as the team looks to respond in its next fixture. The reports collectively depict a fast transition for Renard, who takes over shortly after landing and immediately starts work to get Tunisia ready for Japan.
