Tunisian League Cracks Down After Heated Clasico
The Tunisian National Football League has handed down sanctions following misconduct during the fiery Clasico between Étoile du Sahel (ESS) and Espérance de Tunis.
-
Faouzi Benzarti, head coach of ESS, has been suspended for one match and fined 700 dinars.
-
His assistant, Ridha Jeddi, received a four-match suspension and a 2,000-dinar fine — a harsher punishment reflecting the severity of his actions.

José Brito, assistant coach of Espérance, was also suspended for four matches and fined 2,000 dinars, mirroring Jeddi’s sanction.
The league’s firm response underscores its commitment to curbing inappropriate behavior from technical staff in high-stakes fixtures.
