Espérance de Tunis are weighing a potential change of direction after the departure of Maher Kanzari, with Tarek Sektioui emerging as the leading candidate to take charge of the Tunisian giants.
The Moroccan coach’s name has been widely discussed within the club in recent days, as Espérance’s leadership looks for a figure capable of restoring momentum and providing clarity at a pivotal moment.
Sektioui’s growing reputation, built on his recent work with Morocco’s national teams, has placed him at the centre of the conversation.
Seen by many close to the club as a natural fit, Sektioui is regarded as a disciplined tactician with experience at the highest level.
His profile aligns with Espérance’s need for stability, particularly in a dressing room that has struggled to find consistency following recent changes.
Club insiders view him as a coach capable of imposing structure while reconnecting the team with a clear sporting identity.
The interest in Sektioui also reflects a broader ambition within Espérance’s management. Appointing a coach with a modern vision of the game would underline a determination to relaunch an ambitious project after a period of uncertainty.
The club, long accustomed to domestic dominance and continental success, is keen to reassert its authority both in Tunisia and in African competition.
Should the move be confirmed, Sektioui’s immediate task would be to inject renewed energy into the squad and set a competitive direction for the months ahead.
Expectations would be high, not only because of Espérance’s history, but also because of the promise associated with his recent coaching achievements.
For now, discussions remain at the level of speculation, and no official announcement has been made.
However, the persistence of the rumours highlights the importance of the next appointment for a club seeking to redefine its path.
If Espérance ultimately turn to Sektioui, the decision could represent a decisive moment—one aimed at restoring confidence, sharpening ambition and reopening the door to continental glory for the Blood and Gold.
