The Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) has appointed a local technician as the new head coach of the national team, succeeding Frenchman Hervé Renard. Renard left his position in June 2026 after a mutual agreement with the federation, following a mixed run of results in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The new coach, whose name has not been officially confirmed by the FTF as of July 18, 2026, is a Tunisian national with previous experience in the domestic league. The decision aligns with the federation's strategy to prioritize local expertise and reduce reliance on foreign coaches.
Hervé Renard, who took over in 2024, led Tunisia to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations but was unable to secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup. The FTF thanked Renard for his service and expressed confidence in the new appointee to rebuild the team for future competitions.
