Tunisian Mosaic Radio confirmed that Anis Boujelban, coach of the Tunisian Olympic team, will not coach Etoile du Sahel as previously agreed upon.
The report clarified that Etoile du Sahel's management did not obtain approval from the Tunisian Football Federation to allow Anis Boujelban to take over coaching the team.
Especially since his contract as coach of the Olympic team is still in effect.
The Tunisian Olympic team is preparing to participate in the Mediterranean Games from August 21 to September 3, 2026.
Etoile du Sahel club was awaiting approval from the Tunisian Football Federation to release Anis Boujelban, coach of the Olympic team, in order to appoint him as technical director of the team.
Days ago, Tunisian Anis Boujelban announced his apology for not joining Al Ahly to work on the scouting committee and search for players.
Boujelban said in statements reported by the Tunisia Africa News Agency: "I chose to continue with the Tunisian Olympic team and prepare for the Mediterranean Games and the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics".
He added, "That is why I apologized for not joining the scouting committee at Al Ahly".
FilGoal.com had earlier revealed that Boujelban believes that national duty comes first for him, yet he has not yet informed Al Ahly of his apology for not being present on the scouting committee.
Al Ahly announced the appointment of Moroccan Hussein Ammouta as coach of the team, succeeding Danish Jess Thorup, who left after the end of the previous season.
