Tunisia fired head coach Sabri Lamouchi on Monday after a tame defeat in its first World Cup game. The Tunisian Football Federation announced his dismissal on its Instagram account.
Written in Arabic, the statement was translated by Google. “An agreement has been officially reached to dismiss coach Sabri Lamouchi,” the statement read.
“Plans are underway to appoint Mondher Kebaier as the national team coach (on an interim basis) to complete the World Cup group-stage matches.”
Sweden routed Tunisia 5-1 in Sunday night’s Group F opener in Guadalupe, Mexico.
Tunisia is scheduled to face Japan in the same stadium on Saturday night before finishing group stage on June 25 against the Netherlands in Kansas City.
Lamouchi, 54, was hired in January and was already under fire following a 5-0 loss to Belgium in a pre-tournament friendly on June 6 in Brussels.
The Frenchman previously managed the Ivory Coast squad at the 2014 FIFA World Cup but failed to advance beyond the group stage in Brazil.
