Moroccan football club Renaissance Sportive de Berkane (RS Berkane) issued an official statement on Friday, July 17, 2026, addressing speculation about the future of their Tunisian head coach, Moïne Chaabani. The club confirmed that Chaabani had received an official offer from the Tunisian Football Federation to become the new coach of the Tunisian national team.
In the statement, RS Berkane acknowledged the offer but emphasized that no agreement has been reached. The club stated that discussions are ongoing and that they respect Chaabani's contractual obligations. The statement did not provide a timeline for a decision.
Moïne Chaabani, 55, has been with RS Berkane since 2022, leading the club to several domestic and continental successes, including the CAF Confederation Cup title. His potential move to the Tunisian national team comes as the federation seeks a new coach following the departure of previous manager.
The Tunisian Football Federation has not yet commented on the offer. RS Berkane fans have expressed mixed reactions, with some hoping Chaabani stays and others wishing him well if he chooses to take the national team role.
