Club Africain has confirmed the appointment of Mohamed Sahli as the club’s new sporting director, marking a significant addition to the leadership structure at one of Tunisia’s most storied football institutions.
The announcement was made official earlier today by the club’s executive management, entrusting Sahli with responsibilities that extend beyond traditional oversight of player recruitment and strategy.
In addition to his role as sporting director, Sahli will also serve as a technical advisor to the football section, further solidifying his influence over both the immediate and long-term sporting vision of the club.
Sahli, who most recently served as head coach of Union Sportive Monastirienne, brings with him a wealth of domestic coaching experience.
His tenure at US Monastir spanned from July 2024 until February 2025, during which he gained recognition for his disciplined approach and tactical adaptability.
His leadership was considered a stabilising force, and his name had frequently been linked to Espérance Sportive de Tunis following the departure of Romanian coach Laurentiu Reghecampf.
Though those rumours ultimately did not materialize into a contract, Sahli’s growing reputation made him an attractive option for Club Africain, a club seeking to revamp its sporting direction following a period of inconsistency both on and off the pitch.
This appointment represents a strategic shift for Club Africain, which is aiming to rebuild its footballing identity and re-establish itself as a dominant force in the Tunisian league.
Sahli’s dual role will allow him to influence both the macro-level sporting philosophy and the day-to-day technical decisions that shape the club’s on-field performances.
While the club has not released additional details regarding Sahli’s specific projects or immediate targets, insiders suggest that talent development and recruitment are expected to be key priorities under his guidance.
Sahli now steps into a position that carries not only high expectations but also immense pressure, as Club Africain supporters continue to call for greater consistency and competitive results.
Whether he can translate his coaching credentials into success at an executive level remains to be seen, but the leadership at Club Africain appears confident that his experience and vision align with the club’s ambitions for the future.
