Raymond Domenech could potentially take on the role of Tunisia’s next coach, as reported by Africa Top Sports.com. According to initial reactions from a survey conducted, the response has been generally positive, with many considering him suitable for the position.
Domenech, who has been available since his contract termination as coach of the France national team following the 2010 World Cup, could soon sign a two-year contract with the Tunisian national team, with an option for two additional years. If appointed, his primary objectives would include guiding Tunisia to qualification for the 2015 and 2017 editions of the African Cup of Nations.
Despite his mixed record and being dubbed as the “coach who never won anything,” Domenech brings considerable experience, having previously managed various French youth teams and the senior French national team, reaching the final of the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
The potential appointment of Domenech raises questions about his ability to turn around the Tunisian national team, which has faced challenges in recent years, including a notable absence from the 2014 FIFA World Cup. However, his track record includes notable achievements with French youth teams and the senior national team.
