Tunisia have sacked head coach Sabri Lamouchi after being thrashed 5-1 by Sweden in their first match at the World Cup and appointed French coach Hervé Renard.
The Tunisian Football federation made the announcement on Instagram, and described the decision as a “mutual agreement”.
The 54-year-old Lamouchi had been in charge only since January.
Renard's deal covers only the World Cup and a longer-term agreement will be discussed after that, the Tunisian soccer federation said on Tuesday.
Tunisia’s heavy loss on Sunday left the North African nation with a tough task to reach the last 32. The team’s remaining group games are against Japan on Saturday and the Netherlands on June 25.
