Moine Chaabani appointed as new coach for Tunisia National Team
After a disappointing showing at the 2026 World Cup, the Tunisian Football Federation has decided to make a change by naming Moine Chaabani as the new coach for the national team. The 51-year-old coach has signed a four-year deal that will see him lead the Eagles of Carthage until the 2030 World Cup.
A new era begins
Tunisia’s performance at the 2026 World Cup was nothing short of disastrous, with the team failing to secure a single victory in the tournament. The Eagles of Carthage suffered defeats in all three group stage matches, including a humiliating 5-1 loss to Sweden, a 4-0 defeat to Japan, and a 3-1 setback against the Netherlands.
The Federation initially appointed Sabri Lamouchi as the head coach for the opening game against Sweden. However, after the team’s poor showing and a heavy defeat, they decided to part ways with Lamouchi and brought in Hervé Renard as his replacement. Despite Renard’s efforts, he was unable to turn things around and resigned after just two matches in charge.
Chaabani’s coaching pedigree
Moine Chaabani comes to the Tunisia national team with an impressive coaching resume. Throughout his career, he has achieved success, winning the CAF Champions League twice with Espérance de Tunis in 2018 and 2019. Chaabani also added the CAF Confederation Cup to his list of accomplishments in 2025 while coaching Morocco’s Renaissance Berkane.
Chaabani’s coaching staff includes Mourad El Maliki and Saifallah Hosni as assistant coaches, Khaled El Meghzaoui as the goalkeeping coach, Hatem Boulila as the fitness coach, and Wissem Safwat as the analyst.
Looking ahead
With Chaabani at the helm, the Tunisian National Team is hoping for a fresh start and a successful campaign in future competitions. The new coach brings a wealth of experience and a winning mentality that could propel the Eagles of Carthage to new heights.
As Tunisia prepares for the upcoming matches and qualifiers, fans are eager to see how Chaabani’s leadership will impact the team’s performance on the field. With the 2030 World Cup on the horizon, the Tunisian Football Federation is optimistic about the team’s prospects under their new coach.
