The first coaching casualty of the 2026 FIFA World Cup has arrived, with Tunisia parting ways with head coach Sabri Lamouchi following the team's crushing 5-1 defeat to Sweden in their opening Group F match.

Tunisian football officials acted swiftly after the heavy loss, making Lamouchi the first manager to lose his job during the tournament as pressure mounted over both the result and the team's recent performances.

During his brief tenure, Lamouchi oversaw just five matches, recording one victory, one draw and three defeats. His side scored only one goal while conceding 11, statistics that ultimately left the federation with little room for patience.
