Former Tunisia defender and coach Radhi Jaïdi has presented a long-term reform plan for Tunisian football following the team’s group-stage elimination with three defeats.
- Tunisia lost all three World Cup group matches, falling 1-5 to Belgium, 0-4 to Japan, and 1-3 to Netherlands.
- Jaïdi said the solution requires a long-term project starting from the grassroots with specialized expertise in training, infrastructure, and coaching.
- He proposed a reform commission headed by a foreign head coach, working alongside the Tunisian Football Federation with local experts.
- Jaïdi called for re-establishing player training centers across the country, experimenting with regional teams, and including dual-nationality Tunisians.
