Ghazi Gherairi and CS Sfaxien Agree to Part Ways Amid Rumors of New Coach
By [BBC Reporter Name], BBC Sport Africa
Tunisian club CS Sfaxien has confirmed the amicable departure of head coach Ghazi Gherairi, following reports of strained relations with the club’s management.
An official statement on the club’s website announced the mutual agreement to part ways, with Gherairi citing persistent rumors about the club’s ongoing discussions with potential replacement candidates as a key factor in his decision.
Among the names linked with succeeding Gherairi, Patrice Carteron, currently managing Congolese giants TP Mazembe, has emerged as the leading candidate. However, given that Carteron remains under contract, the prospect of a move would require negotiations with Moise Katumbi, TPM’s influential president.
CS Sfaxien currently sits fourth in the Tunisian league, trailing leaders Etoile du Sahel, Club Africain, and Espérance de Tunis. The club will hope the coaching change sparks renewed form as they pursue domestic and continental ambitions.
