The crushing loss came just weeks after another humiliating 5-0 defeat to Belgium during pre-tournament preparations, fueling anger among Tunisian fans and sports circles.
Media reports said the Tunisian Football Federation plans an emergency meeting to discuss the fallout from the Sweden defeat and assess the coaching staff led by Lamouchi. His future is now in serious doubt, with sources citing shaken confidence in his ability to correct course.

French journalist Romain Molina wrote on X: “The end is near for Sabri Lamouchi as Tunisia’s head coach.” Lamouchi took charge of the Carthage Eagles after Sami Trabelsi stepped down following Tunisia’s participation in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Tunisia now faces a tough challenge in its next two group matches, against Japan on Sunday and the Netherlands on June 26.
