Tunis, Tunisia – The Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) has officially announced the appointment of Sabri Lamouchi as the new head coach of the national team. This decision marks a significant shift for the ‘Eagles of Carthage,’ as Lamouchi succeeds Sami Trabelsi with the mandate to revitalize the team’s performance and overall sporting project.
Lamouchi, bringing a wealth of coaching experience from both European and international leagues, was selected for his tactical acumen and modern footballing knowledge. The FTF aims to leverage his expertise in areas such as structured gameplay, tactical discipline, and the enhancement of team cohesion.
The new coach is expected to commence his duties imminently. His initial tasks will include a comprehensive assessment of the current squad, the selection of key players, and the development of a robust training program. This program will be crucial in preparing the team for upcoming continental and international competitions, most notably the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and the FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.
The Tunisian footballing community holds high hopes for this new chapter, anticipating a resurgence of the national team’s continental prominence. There’s a strong belief that the current crop of young and promising players, with the right technical guidance and a clear long-term vision, can achieve significant success.
The departure of Sami Trabelsi followed a period of inconsistent results, leading the FTF to seek a fresh approach that could restore confidence among supporters and ultimately fulfill the ambitions of Tunisian football. Lamouchi’s appointment is seen as a crucial step in achieving these goals.
