Tunisia legend Tarek Dhiab re-appointed Minister for Youth and Sports

Tunisia legend Tarek Dhiab has been reappointed Minister for Youth and Sports, a role he filled for two years from December 2011.

The 65-year-old made a century of appearances for the Carthage Eagles throughout his playing career, before hanging up his boots in 1990 after an international friendly with England.

He featured in the 1978 World Cup as well as the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.

Dhiab was named African Player of the Year in 1977, when the award was organised by France Football Magazine. He remains the only Tunisian to ever win the honour.
