Tunisian Handball Federation Announces Resignation of National Team Coach

The Tunisian Handball Federation announced on Saturday evening the acceptance of the resignation of the national team coach, Mohamed Ali Saghir, as well as his first assistant, Mohamed Ali Boughezala, following the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations. This decision comes after the Tunisian team's heavy defeat in the final of the African Cup against Egypt, with a 13-goal difference, the most severe in its history in the competition. This defeat sparked widespread anger in the sports community. The Federation also specified that Mohamed Ali Saghir has waived all his financial rights for a period of two years, following the termination of his contract before its initial expiration date in 2028.
