Renard Resigns After 18-Day Spell as Tunisia Coach

Renard's Instagram announcement follows his short, mid-tournament hiring that failed to stop Tunisia's heavy losses.

Overview

  • Renard announced his resignation on Instagram on Saturday after an 18-day tenure that began during the World Cup.
  • He took over after Sabri Lamouchi was sacked following a 1-5 opening loss to Sweden and then oversaw defeats of 0-4 to Japan and 1-3 to the Netherlands.
  • Tunisia exited the group stage with zero points, scoring two goals and conceding 12 across three matches.
  • Renard was dismissed as Saudi Arabia coach in April and has previously managed several African national teams; he said he expects to continue working on the African continent.
  • Observers note this exit as part of wider coaching churn at the tournament, though counts of total departures vary by outlet and remain subject to confirmation.
