Tunisia coach Henry Kasperczak has quit following his team’s failure to progress past the Africa Cup of Nations quarter final stage.

The Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) had tasked the coach to steer the Carthage Eagles out of the group stages of the tournament,a target that he easily achived following wins over North Africa rivals Algeria and Zimbabwe.

The Carthage Eagles suffered a 2- 0 defeat in the hands of battle hardened Burkina Faso,losing the game in the last twenty minutes of the match.

The FTF has indicated that it will announce a new coach soon after failing to convince him to stay due to what the Polish trainer cited as family reasons.

Henry Kasperczak was appointed coach of in July 2015 for a second stint. He had previously coached Tunisia for four years from 1994, leading them to runners-up at the 1996 Nations Cup where they lost to hosts South Africa in the final
