The race to find a successor to Nabil Maaloul, who resigned as the head of the Tunisian national football team, is underway. According to Africa Top Sports.com, the Dutchman Ruud Krol is considered the leading candidate for the position. However, there are conditions attached to his acceptance of the role – he wants a contract that extends beyond the upcoming two matches.
Reports indicate that the Tunisian Football Federation is hesitant about meeting this condition, as they have other candidates in mind. Some of the names mentioned include Alain Perrin, Denis Lavagne (currently leading Etoile du Sahel), Claude Le Roy, and Pierre Lechantre, who is currently free. Additionally, Dutchman Ruud Krol (CS Sfax) and Tunisians Mondher Kebaier (CA Bizerte) and Maher Kanzari (Espérance de Tunis) are also being considered.
Alain Perrin, who has been free since leaving Al-Gharafa in Qatar last February, is reportedly attracting significant interest. The former coach of Olympique de Marseille (OM) and Olympique Lyonnais (OL) is said to be highly intrigued by the challenge of coaching Tunisia and guiding the Carthage Eagles to the World Cup.
The potential appointment of Alain Perrin is said to be well-received by many Tunisians, making it a choice that aligns with the aspirations of the football community in Tunisia.
