Patrick Lewig has decided to step down as the coach of El Gawafel Sportive de Gafsa due to the internal crisis faced by the club, including the departure of its president Nabil Bair. Lewig, a French technician, had only spent a few months with the Tunisian Ligue 1 club. The decision comes after Lewig’s hospitalization earlier in the month due to injuries sustained from a fall down his stairs, including injuries to his pelvis, neck, and lower abdomen. Lewig will manage his last match with EGSG this weekend against Union Sportive Monastirienne.
