Amir Abdou, the former head coach of Mauritania, is reportedly in discussions to take over as the head coach of the Tunisia national football team.
The Comorian tactician, who is currently without a team, has attracted interest from several major African football nations following his departure from the Mauritania setup.
According to reports from Foot Mercato, both Tunisia and Ghana have approached Abdou to gauge his availability for their respective national team roles. The interest comes as no surprise, given Abdou’s remarkable track record in African football.
Abdou gained prominence by leading Comoros and Mauritania to their first-ever knockout stages at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 2021 and 2023, respectively. These achievements have cemented his reputation as a coach capable of inspiring underdog teams to exceed expectations on the continental stage.
For Abdou, the prospect of managing Tunisia or Ghana represents a major step forward in his career. Both teams have ambitious goals in international football, and leading either side would provide Abdou the platform to compete at the highest level.
As discussions unfold, Abdou’s potential appointment could mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter for him and for the national team he chooses to guide. His ability to transform teams into competitive forces could be pivotal in shaping the future of either Tunisia or Ghana in upcoming international tournaments.
