⚡ THE 2026 WORLD CUP ALREADY HAS ITS FIRST VICTIM — and the first matchday had not even ended yet.

Sabri Lamouchi lasted exactly 90 minutes as a World Cup coach. Hours after the 5-1 that Sweden handed Tunisia in Monterrey on June 14, the Tunisian Federation issued an official statement and dismissed him. The 54-year-old Frenchman, who had taken charge only on January 14, 2026, managed just five matches with the national team: one win, one draw, and three defeats — the last, a humiliation with five goals in the opening match of the most important tournament in the world. The goals by Ayari (brace), Isak, Gyökeres, and Svanberg had already condemned him before the final whistle. 🔥

Mondher Kebaier was appointed as interim successor, and he already knows the environment: he managed Tunisia at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The team still has matches ahead against Japan (June 21) and the Netherlands. History repeats itself — at France 1998, Tunisia also dismissed its coach in the middle of the tournament. But this time it was faster, more forceful, and more brutal than ever. 😤⚽
