My people, wetin dey happen for Tunisia na serious matter o! Dem don sack dem coach, Sami Trabelsi, just one day after dem see road for 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. This one no be small gist, as Trabelsi na the man wey lead dem for two stints but e no fit carry dem go higher!
Last night for Casablanca, as dem dey play against Mali wey dey down to 10 men since Woyo Coulibaly collect red card early for 26th minute, e be like say na wahala dem get. Tunisia lead around 88th minute with Firas Chaouat header, but dem still manage to spoil am with penalty wey Mali get for added time. Talk true, na “come chop and pass” dem dey play!
Mali keep their cool for penalty shootout when dem win am 3-2, wey come lead to Trabelsi’s termination. The Tunisian Football Federation run fast come make announcement, say na by mutual consent dem agree to part ways. E pain dem because dem guys don dey manage since last February and e no sweet dem at all.
When dem start this Afcon campaign, hope dey high for Tunisia because dem carry 3-1 win against Uganda for their first match. But dem fall quickly like one pack of jollof rice when dem lose to Nigeria 3-2, and later draw with Tanzania 1-1. Dis no be di level wey dem expect from 2004 champions o!
Trabelsi dey lament say na him carry di responsibility for di failure, as e tell media, say him dey feel great pain over di matter. E be like say dis defeat don show say dem get more work to do if dem wan carry di trophy again.
Abeg, make una no forget say Tunisia don qualify for di 2026 World Cup, but right now, dem think say dem need new strategy and fresh blood for di team. We go dey watch how e go be next for dem time, but one tin sure, this kain wahala fit change everything!
