The Tunisian FA have decided to part ways with national team manager Mondher Kebaier after exiting 2021 the Africa Cup of Nations.
Despite being handed a relatively easy group, which was consisted of Mali, Mauritania and first-timers Gambia, Tunisia still finished third in their group, four points behind the latter.
Luckily, the Carthage Eagles managed to qualify to the round of 16 after being among the top four third-placed teams, and were pitted against Group D leaders Nigeria.
The Carthage Eagles went on to surprisingly beat the Super Eagles 1-0 thanks to a goal from Youssef Msakni, booking a spot in the quarterfinals against Burkina Faso.

Tunisia were outplayed by The Stallions for the majority of the 90 minutes, and eventually lost 1-0 after a goal from Dango Ouattara.
After their disappointing campaign, the Tunisia FA have decided to sack Kebaier, who took charge in August 2019, and replace him with his assistant and former Al Ahli Tripoli head coach Jalel Kadri.
Kadri will have the heavy task of guiding Tunisia to the 2022 World Cup, when they face Mali in a two-legged playoff match next March in the final round of the World Cup qualifiers.
