Tunisia coach Alain Giresse sets Africa Cup of Nations target

Coach Alain Giresse has revealed that Tunisia are aiming to reach the quarter-finals of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Since their first Afcon triumph in 2004, the North Africans have exited the tournament at the quarter-final stage five times, including the last two editions in 2015 and 2017.

For their campaign in Egypt, Tunisia have been placed in Group E against Angola, Mali and Mauritania.
