Tunisia’s normalization committee is intensifying efforts to appoint a new head coach for the national football team, but financial constraints continue to pose significant hurdles in negotiations.
Talks have reportedly been ongoing with several French-speaking coaches, with the committee aiming to finalize the appointment before its mandate concludes.
Among those approached were Belgian Hugo Broos and French coaches Hervé Renard and Willy Sagnol.
However, the financial package offered failed to meet the expectations of these candidates, leaving the committee in search of alternatives.
The urgency to resolve the coaching situation has heightened, as Tunisia prepares for key fixtures in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The Carthage Eagles are set to face Liberia and Malawi in March, matches critical to their ambitions of securing a spot in the prestigious tournament.
Tunisia, a nation with a rich football history, famously won the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 2004.
Despite its past success, the search for a coach capable of revitalizing the team and navigating them through the qualifiers has proven challenging.
The normalization committee, tasked with managing Tunisian football, is now under pressure to conclude its mission by addressing this pressing issue.
As the clock ticks, the focus remains on finding a tactician who can align with Tunisia’s vision for success while working within the financial constraints.
The next few weeks will be pivotal in shaping the Carthage Eagles’ future on the road to the 2026 World Cup.
