Nabil Maaloul will succeed Sami Trabelsi as coach of Tunisia, the national football federation announced this weekend. Trabelsi quit after the Carthage Eagles failed to reach his mimimum target of a quarter-finals place at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa. Tunisia missed a penalty when held 1-1 by Togo in a match they had to win to deprive the Sparrow Hawks of second spot in Group D behind Ivory Coast.
