The crushing 1-5 defeat against Sweden in the first match of the group stage was the decisive factor behind the Tunisian Football Association's dismissal of coach Sabri Ramouci. This super-strong decision, issued just one day after the game ended, is the result of an urgent will to strengthen the team's internal cohesion and renew the atmosphere. Coach Herve Renard, who was appointed as his successor, is a proven figure who has been mentioned in the past as a candidate for the next head coach of the Korean national team, and Tunisia is aiming for a miraculous rebound through him in the remaining games against Japan and the Netherlands. However, completely overturning the prepared tactics and implanting new leadership on a large stage such as the World Cup is not an easy task, and this carries the risk of causing greater confusion in the team's organizational ability.

Tunisia's decision naturally reminds us of the dark history of Korean soccer at the 1998 World Cup in France. At the time, coach Cha Bum-geun suffered the disgrace of being dismissed during the tournament after the loss to Mexico and the crushing loss to the Netherlands, which remains the most painful record in Korean soccer history. At the time, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia also experienced confusion as they changed coaches around the same time, and this was a clear example of how harsh the World Cup stage was to individual coaches. Although coach Cha Bum-geun stepped down after two games, the severity of the harshness can be assessed to have deepened in the fact that Tunisia coach Ramoussi had to lay down the baton after just one game.

Meanwhile, former coach Cha Bum-geun, who is considered a legend in the soccer world, still exerts great influence off the field. The fact that he recently mentioned the ‘Son Heung-min effect’ while analyzing Son Heung-min’s performance proves that he is not simply a figure from the past, but a master who still has an accurate understanding of the trends of modern soccer. His insight into how Son Heung-min's process of shaking up the opposing defense and creating space played a key role in the team's victory gave many people a new perspective on soccer. In addition, the daily news surrounding coach Cha Bum-geun's family, especially the story that his granddaughter inherited her grandfather's strong genes and resembled her athletic ability and appearance, served as an opportunity to once again impress the public with the human side of the soccer legend.

The dismissal of a coach at the World Cup goes beyond simply placing responsibility for poor performance, and often reveals the immaturity of soccer administration and the limits of crisis management ability. As in the case of the Spanish national team in 2018, when coach Lopetegui was dismissed for “offensive offense” just before the tournament, replacing a coach, whether there is a clear reason or not, is a risky gamble that can shake the foundation of the team. This extreme administrative method causes psychological turmoil in players, destroys long-term team plans, and ultimately determines the success or failure of the entire competition. This incident in Tunisia, repeated for the first time in 28 years, suggests that the world of world soccer is still unable to escape the shackles of sexual supremacy, and once again confirms the absence of a system to protect and nurture leaders.
