ES Tunis: Maher Kanzari sacked?

According to several reports in Tunisia, Espérance Sportive de Tunis could make a major decision in the coming hours regarding the future of their head coach Maher Kanzari. The Tunisian tactician finds himself on shaky ground after the team’s underwhelming performance against Stade Malien in the CAF Champions League—a goalless draw that left both management and fans with a bitter taste.

While this result is far from disastrous, it comes at a time when EST are seemingly searching for renewed energy and stronger sporting guarantees as they look ahead in the competition. The Bab Souika club’s display was spirited, but a lack of offensive inspiration has reignited internal questions over Kanzari’s ability to raise the team to the next level.

On the pitch, the Blood and Gold showed determination: a hard-fought first half, a few chances in the second, but also a huge scare in the 70th minute when Stade Malien missed a golden opportunity to open the scoring. This lack of efficiency and composure at crucial moments has only deepened the doubts.

No official decision has been announced yet, but several signs suggest that a change on the bench cannot be ruled out. Espérance, a club accustomed to high expectations and the pressure of major continental stages, may feel that a shock is necessary to ignite a momentum that remains too fragile.
