Overview
- Renard announced his departure on Instagram on Saturday, July 4, saying “my adventure ends” and thanking the Tunisian Football Federation for the opportunity to lead the team.
- He was appointed during the tournament to replace Sabri Lamouchi and managed Tunisia for 19 days, overseeing two defeats before the team's group-stage elimination.
- Tunisia finished the group stage with three losses, zero points and 12 goals conceded, the highest total reported for any team in this phase of the 2026 World Cup.
- Post-tournament talks about keeping Renard did not result in his retention and he said he is now free to consider other projects while media have floated unconfirmed links to Algeria.
- The federation now faces an urgent search for a long-term coach, a review of defensive and tactical failures that produced the 12-goal collapse, and the task of restoring confidence among players and fans.
