The Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) has outlined specific criteria for appointing the next head coach of the national team, the “Eagles of Carthage,” as they prepare for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The decision marks a strategic shift for the FTF as it seeks to strengthen Tunisia’s prospects on the global stage.
Preference for Foreign Leadership
The FTF has announced its intention to appoint a foreign coach, with a strong preference for a French-speaking candidate.
This move reflects a deliberate break from recent reliance on local managers, as the federation looks to bring international expertise to the team.
The decision comes in the wake of disappointing performances under a series of local coaches, including Mondher Kebaier, Jalel Kadri, Montassar Louhichi, and, most recently, Kais Yaâkoubi.
The FTF believes that foreign leadership may provide the fresh perspective and technical edge needed to improve the national team’s performance.
Race Against Time
With the 2026 World Cup qualifiers fast approaching, the FTF faces a tight timeline to secure the right candidate.
Tunisia is aiming to build a cohesive and competitive squad ahead of these crucial fixtures, and the choice of coach will be instrumental in achieving this goal.
The decision to prioritize a French-speaking coach aligns with Tunisia’s linguistic and cultural ties, ensuring effective communication and alignment with players and staff.
A Strategic Shift
This move represents a significant shift in strategy for the FTF. Tunisia’s reliance on local coaches in recent years has not yielded the desired results on the international stage.
By turning to a foreign coach, the federation aims to bring in new tactics, modern training methods, and a fresh approach to player management.
Building for the Future
The selection of the new coach is expected to signal a new era for the Eagles of Carthage.
As Tunisia prepares to navigate the challenging road to the 2026 World Cup, the federation is keen to ensure the team is led by a coach capable of maximizing its potential and delivering success.
The FTF’s focus on securing a high-caliber, experienced foreign coach underscores its commitment to elevating Tunisian football to new heights.
Fans and stakeholders alike will be watching closely as the federation moves to finalize its choice in the coming weeks.
