The Tunisia Football Federation (FTF) have confirmed the sacking of David Marcel, the mental trainer for the Carthage Eagles.
In an official statement, the federation complained the sacked trainer had 'exceeded his functions' and also failed to properly prepare the players mentally for their group stage matches at the ongoing 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).
While fellow North African countries, Algeria, Morocco and host Egypt, secured maximum points in the group stage, the Carthage Eagles squeezed into the Round of 16 after they played another uninspiring draw against Mauritania on Tuesday.
