​Herve Renard, who stepped in to replace Sabri Lamouchi as Tunisia coach in the middle of the World Cup, announced on Saturday that he was resigning after just two matches in charge of the Eagles of Carthage. “My adventure with Tunisia has come to an end,” the 57-year-old Frenchman posted on Instagram. “Before I leave, I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Tunisian Football Federation for allowing me to take part in the 2026 World Cup. It was an honor to represent Tunisia and to have this unforgettable experience.” Renard, who has led Zambia and Ivory Coast to Africa Cup of Nations glory, had been appointed by the federation on June 16 to succeed Lamouchi, who was dismissed after Tunisia’s 5–1 thrashing by Sweden in their opening match. But the former Saudi Arabia boss did not fare any better than his predecessor, overseeing a 4-0 loss to Japan and a 3-1 defeat to the Netherlands in the North Africans’ remaining two group games. After Tunisia’s elimination, Renard told AFP that he had come “for this World Cup,” without indicating whether Tunisia had asked him to extend his contract. Renard had been expected to guide Saudi Arabia through the World Cup but was dismissed from his post less than two months before the tournament began in North America.
