Coach Renard leaves Tunisia after World Cup group-stage exit

Herve Renard, the French football coach who took over as Tunisia's national team manager during the World Cup, has stepped down after leading the team in just two matches. He succeeded Sabri Lamouchi, who was dismissed following Tunisia's heavy 5-1 loss to Sweden in their opening game. Under Renard, Tunisia lost 4-0 to Japan and 3-1 to the Netherlands, resulting in their early elimination from the tournament. Renard expressed gratitude toward the Tunisian Football Federation for the opportunity to participate in the 2026 World Cup, though he did not clarify if Tunisia had requested him to stay beyond the competition. Prior to joining Tunisia, Renard was the head coach of Saudi Arabia but was fired shortly before the World Cup began.
