Ali Abdi tears into Tunisian federation after World Cup exit

Ali Abdi has not stayed quiet. Following Tunisia's World Cup elimination, the former Caen defender tore into the national federation, accusing it of chronic instability and a pattern of poor decisions that gutted the campaign (1). His outburst lands just days after Hervé Renard was parachuted in to replace Sabri Lamouchi, sacked after one match, a 5–1 collapse against Sweden in the group opener. The federation had reportedly lost the dressing room before that first whistle. Abdi's words make clear the rot runs deeper than one bad result.
