The Tunisian Football Federation has reportedly dismissed national team manager Sabri Lamouchi after a crushing 5-1 defeat to Sweden in their opening World Cup match.
Tunisian media reported the decision on Monday, marking what could be the first time in World Cup history that a head coach has been relieved of his duties after just one group-stage match.

Lamouchi leaves his position after less than six months in charge, during which he managed the national team for only five international fixtures.
According to local media reports, assistant coach Wahbi Khazri will assume the role of interim manager to guide the team through the remainder of the tournament.
