Tunisia join the coaching carousel after group-stage nightmare

Your team are one of several nations already on the hunt for a new manager following a brutal group-stage campaign, with the Tunisian Football Federation joining the coaching carousel after the 5–1 and 4–0 defeats to Japan confirmed elimination before the Netherlands match even kicked off (1). Hervé Renard lasted only two matches in a tournament that is eating through managers at a relentless pace. His pre-tournament warning that there were "no magicians in football" now reads like a premonition. The rebuild Ali Abdi demanded through tears has to start with the man on the touchline.

Tunisia fans on Reddit are reflecting on the bitter irony of Group F becoming the first group entirely eliminated from the 2026 World Cup, with all four teams now out. One thread notes how Netherlands fell to Morocco on penalties, Japan lost 2–1 to Brazil, and Sweden were swept aside 3–0 by France, closing the door on a group that promised far more than it delivered.
