World Cup participant Tunisia has parted with coach Sami Trabelsi and his coaching staff following their last 16 exit at the Africa Cup of Nations.

“The executive committee has decided to terminate by mutual consent the contractual relationship with the entire technical staff of the national team,” the Tunisian Federation of Football said in a statement on Facebook late Sunday.

It gave no further details.

Tunisia, who lost to Nigeria in the group stage, lost to Mali on penalties in the last 16 of the Africa Cup despite having a player more for most of their match.
