Tunisia fires manager Lamouchi following a single World Cup match

Tunisia have responded to their 5-1 World Cup thrashing by Sweden by sacking coach Sabri Lamouchi and replacing him with Frenchman Herve Renard, the federation announced on national TV on Monday.
nLamouchi is the first coach in World Cup history to be sacked after just one game.
nRenard guided Saudi Arabia to a shock win against eventual winners Argentina at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and has since coached the France women’s team.
n“The president of the Tunisian Football Federation, Moez Nassari, announced that an official agreement had been reached with French coach Herve Renard for him to take charge of the national football team until the end of the 2026 World Cup,” the Tunisian public broadcaster announced.
nLamouchi, 54, had only been in charge since January.
nThe former French international player won just one of his five games in charge, a 1-0 victory over Haiti.
nThe heavy defeat by Sweden on Sunday leaves Tunisia with a tough task to reach the knockout round.
nThey face Japan in their next Group F match on Saturday before taking on the Netherlands.
