A few days after suffering a heavy defeat against Sweden, Tunisia is trying to bounce back under the guidance of Herve Renard.
The French coach, who was appointed during the tournament, delivered a clear-headed speech ahead of the match against Japan.
Herve Renard, head coach of Saudi Arabia, speaks to the media during a post-match press conference following the 2025 FIFA Arab Cup quarterfinal match between Palestine and Saudi Arabia at Lusail Stadium on December 11, 2025, in Lusail City, Qatar.
The former coach of Ivory Coast and Morocco emphasized that turning a team around depends above all on daily work.
“There are no magicians in soccer; there’s hard work, preparation, and then performing well and effectively when it counts,” he explained.
Determined to quickly put the first match behind him, Renard is now waiting for a concrete response from his players on the field.
“We’re aware of our duty; tomorrow is when we’ll have to take action,” he insisted.
With this straightforward message, the French coach is seeking to reignite the pride of the Eagles of Carthage ahead of a match that could determine the rest of their World Cup campaign.
