In a whirlwind of controversy and ambition, Tunisian coach Chiheb Ellili has landed in Libya to lead Al Taawun, marking the next chapter in his eventful career.
Just days ago, Ellili left AS Gabès under dramatic circumstances, walking away after a 1-1 draw against US Ben Guerdane in Tunisia’s Ligue 1. Without notifying club officials, he turned off his phone and became unreachable, leaving the team stunned. His tenure at AS Gabès lasted less than a month, encompassing three matches with two losses and a draw.
Yesterday, Ellili surfaced in Buraydah, Libya, ready to take on a fresh challenge. Today, he led his first training session with Al Taawun, demonstrating his signature hands-on style. The move signifies a bold reset for Ellili as he aims to rebuild his reputation and lead Al Taawun to greater heights.
The spotlight is now firmly on the Tunisian tactician, whose sudden departure has left questions in his wake—but also excitement for what lies ahead in Libya.
