The move followed Tunisia\u2019s Round of 16 defeat to Mali, in which the Carthage Eagles were eliminated on penalties after a 1\u20131 draw, despite playing much of the game with a numerical advantage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trabelsi, 57, had returned to the national team fold in February 2025 for a second stint in charge, having previously coached Tunisia from 2011 to 2013. His tenure saw mixed fortunes: while he successfully guided the team to unbeaten qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the early AFCON exit proved costly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Supporters and pundits alike had called for accountability after the Carthage Eagles failed to capitalise on their opportunities against Mali, and the federation\u2019s swift action reflects a desire to reset and rebuild ahead of upcoming international commitments.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With the coaching position now vacant, the FTF is expected to begin a search for a new manager in the coming days, with discussions reportedly underway about whether to appoint a foreign coach or promote from within Tunisia\u2019s footballing ranks to restore confidence and stability to the national side.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neilley Claude EBESSA,\u00a0 Journalist kick442.com &#8211; Cameroon Tunisia\u2019s national football team has announced a&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":26544,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[140,39,213,225,25,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26520","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-afcon","category-african-football","category-athletes","category-caf","category-fifa","category-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
