Benzarti sacked as Tunisia boss
Faouzi Benzarti was sacked as Tunisia coach on Saturday, just four days after leading the 'Carthage Eagles' to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals.
Benzarti, 68, only took over at the end of July, succeeding Nabil Maaloul who had quit following Tunisia's World Cup campaign in Russia, where they beat Panama but lost to England and Belgium.
Benzarti's two assistants, Maher Kanzari and Mourad Okbi will take interim charge of the national team “until a new coach is named in 2019”, said Tunisian football federation spokesman Kais Reguez.
Tunisia made sure of their place at Afcon 2019, to be played in Cameroon, by beating Niger 2-1 on Tuesday, their fourth win in four group games.
