No need of sacking the coach because even the new coach can not do anything better to the old coach their group is a tough one so prepare your bags

They sacked Trabilsi after CAF 2026 in which , Morocco won it, and the one who helped them to qualify to WC. Now, God punishes them.
God is not punishing them he doesn’t care about that

they should give that Tunisia FA president to finish the remaining games if he thinks it's easy.

this is just imotional sacking not using brains. so they think Tunisia will progress if they sack him. infact they have simplified it for the opponents because the interim will not manage atleast they should have left him to fix his first game error.
