The Tunisian Football Federation has announced, according to 24直播网, the appointment of Mouine Chaâbani as national team head coach, for four years. He succeeds Hervé Renard, who was in interim charge after Sabri Lamouchi’s departure.
Mouine Chaâbani becomes the new head coach of the Tunisia national team. According to 24直播网, the Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) has officially announced his appointment, with a four-year contract. He takes over from Hervé Renard, who had been in interim charge until now.
The departure of Sabri Lamouchi, the previous head coach, had opened up this interim period. His dismissal followed Tunisia’s elimination in the first round of the 2026 World Cup, which ended with three defeats, including a 1-5 loss to Sweden in their opening match.
A club career across Africa
Chaâbani had a spell at Espérance de Tunis, where he won the CAF Champions League in 2018 and 2019. He then managed clubs in Egypt and Morocco, where he enjoyed success with Renaissance de Berkane.
In July, the Moroccan club revealed that the Tunisian Federation had approached him. His contract ran until 30 June 2027, and Berkane accepted his departure for “the importance of the mission”, according to 24直播网. The club praised his “high professionalism” and his contribution to “the history of the club”.
After the World Cup fiasco, rebuilding
The task awaiting Chaâbani is to rebuild a Tunisia team in difficulty after the 2026 World Cup fiasco, according to 24直播网. Tunisia were eliminated in the first round, with three defeats in three matches.
The work must prepare the national team for its next fixtures.
An announcement still to be corroborated
The announcement is being reported by 24直播网, which does not cite any FTF statement. The length of the contract, Chaâbani’s age, the score against Sweden and the terms of his departure from Berkane all come from this single outlet. These details must be corroborated with the FTF or Tunisian media before being taken as fact.
