According to l'Equipe he is in contact with Morocco? From Michel to Lemerre, same road as Tunisia. I will not miss him, but he did a good job overall, time to move on. Best of luck to him and to Morocco. May be a non-french pick is the way to go... Did Lemerre resign, or just a speculation from L’Equipe? According to l’Equipe he is in contact with Morocco?

We are fooling ourselves to think he's "hiding his papers" for S. Africa as we say in Arabic. His choices now are quite limited and there is no magic bullet, at least not until Chermiti can play. I feel that kid can make a difference,as he has done with l'Etoile. Lemerre still insists on Santos playing! In his mind, the team's capabilities are quite limited and has openly expressed that "we played to our capabilities." I guess that's all he could do in over 4 years as a head coach for our national team! I would like to be very positive about this situation we're in and would certainly be excited if we beat S. Africa. However, with Lemerre, when you see the sun rising everyday, you have to start to believe it, as the saying goes. It has been a big mistake to keep this old man for so long and that mistake has been made worse by including the opportunistic Maaloul with him. The man has no balls!

Lemerre Has Another Run In With Journalists
January 25, 2008

An angry Tunisia coach Roger Lemerre confiscated the tri-pod of a Tunisian TV crew and took it away on his team bus in the latest run-in with journalists at the MTN Africa Cup of Nations.

On Wednesday he stormed out of a post match press conference, after he was angered by the Senegalese press.

On Friday he had negotiations with the television crew, and asked for them to hand him the video of him taking away their equipment and he will return to them their tripod.

The crew duly obliged but little does Lemerre know that they have already via satellite transmitted the copy back to Tunisia and the Tunisian public have already seen a coach who is supposed to be shaping his team for a crucial game fighting with journalists instead.

Forgot to make a mention to it though. He has a lot of interesting things to say. Not surprising given that he's our legend.

Recently Tunisian legend Tarak Dhieb came on tunisian TV 7 and had a really nice interview. They show alot of video and behind the scenes foortage of the Classic Tunisian side of the 70's and perhaps the first golden era of Tunsian football. The link is part I of 4 or 5 segments. http://www.dailymotion.com/Footn/video/x44rst_tarak-dhieb1_sport Hey guys if anyone is interested.

He was waching like a complete idiot. The players had no fire in them, did not see any real sense of urgency. Lemerre has managed to completely kill their spirits! Look at how the Cote d'ivoire players appear to be enjoying themselves while scoring lots of goals. They look quite happy; the Tunisians and their so-called coach appear overly stressed. Why?

Tunisia and Senegal will normally go through and the real face of your team will be seen in the next round.

Unfortunately, there are people in TV and in press that are justifying our national team's poor performance by stating that Senegal now has a much better team! That's very sad! Lemerre has gone against the will of the people and, as expected, is falling flat on his face. We should call it what it is: this team is going to pack and go home quite soon. Let's make sure to hold the bastards that led us to this accountable!!! Wishful thinking for as long as Lemerre is around!
