FIFA has accepted Tunisia’s request for an ineligible player from Cape Verde, leading to Tunisia’s qualification for the 2014 World Cup Brazil play-offs. Tunisia lost 2-0 to Cape Verde, resulting in the resignation of the entire technical staff of the Eagles of Carthage. Nabil Maaloul, the head coach, had resigned after the defeat, and the Federation office had fired the rest of the staff. The qualification turnaround raises questions about reconsidering the removal of Maaloul’s technical staff, as the Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) looks for another coach, with Belgian Georges Leekens expected to be a candidate.
