Tunisia have parted ways with coach Sami Trabelsi following their shock elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after losing to ten-man Mali on penalties.
The Carthage Eagles had taken a late lead through Firas Chaouat’s header in the 88th minute, but Mali equalized in stoppage time via a Lassine Sinayoko penalty, forcing extra time. Tunisia eventually lost 3-2 in the shootout.
Trabelsi’s dismissal marks the fourth coach to leave the position in three years, highlighting ongoing instability within the national team setup.
The Tunisian Football Federation is expected to begin searching for a new head coach immediately, aiming to restore stability and return the team to its former standards.
