The quest to fill the void left by the resignation of coach Jalel Kadri in the aftermath of Tunisia’s underwhelming performance in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations has commenced. The Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) is diligently assessing potential candidates to spearhead the national team, with several notable figures already expressing interest.
The FTF has begun to receive applications from prospective coaches eager to assume the helm of Tunisia’s football squad. Sources reveal that high-profile names such as Hubert Velud, currently at the helm of Burkina Faso, and the duo of Corentin Martins and Adel Sassi have thrown their hats into the ring for consideration.
Furthermore, Tom Saintfiet, former coach of Gambia, who faced dismissal following the Scorpions’ exit from AFCON2023, has reportedly been contacted by the Tunisian football governing body.
While no official confirmation has been issued as of yet, the FTF is meticulously navigating through the potential candidates to identify an individual with exceptional expertise capable of steering the team to greater heights.
The task at hand is crucial, considering Tunisia’s football legacy and the need for a seasoned leader to guide the squad through the next phase of international competitions.
It’s worth noting that a pivotal General Assembly is scheduled for March 9, where the election of the FTF president and members of the executive committee will transpire.
The appointment of a new coach holds paramount significance, and the FTF is expected to make a strategic decision to fortify Tunisia’s football ambitions.
