Tunisia is actively pursuing a new coach, and reliable sources suggest that their priority is Sébastien Desabre, the current coach of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This potential move has stirred speculation about Desabre’s future with the “Leopards.”
Following the match that saw the “Leopards” secure a spot in the round of 16 of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON), Desabre was questioned about Tunisia’s reported interest.
However, the French coach opted not to delve into the topic at that moment.
“This question is not related to the match (against Tanzania, editor’s note). It’s better to talk about the match, and these questions can be addressed at another time,” he stated after the match against Tanzania.
Desabre, appointed as the coach of the DRC in August 2022, succeeded Argentinian Héctor Cúper and played a pivotal role in the resurgence of the “Leopards.” With a record of 7 victories, 6 draws, and 3 defeats in 16 matches across various competitions, Desabre demonstrated his coaching prowess.
Currently under contract with the Congolese Football Federation (FECOFA) until June 30, 2024, Desabre could potentially leave the DRC national team, contingent upon the payment of his release clause.
The interest from Tunisia adds a layer of intrigue to Desabre’s coaching journey, and his possible transition to a new role could mark a significant chapter in both his career and the future trajectory of Tunisian football.
As the speculations unfold, football enthusiasts eagerly await the resolution of this coaching saga.
