Tunisia has sacked its head coach, Sami Trabelsi, following the Carthage Eagles' early exit from the Africa Cup of Nations AFCON .
The Tunisian Football Federation FTF confirmed the decision on Sunday, less than a day after Tunisia were knocked out by Mali in the Round of 16. The encounter finished 1-1 after extra time before Mali triumphed in a tense penalty shootout.
In a short statement, the federation said the decision was reached by mutual agreement with Trabelsi and his crew, pointing to the team's inability to advance further in the competition.
