TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — The Tunisian Football Federation has fired national team coach Mondher Kebaier following a quarterfinal exit at the African Cup of Nations. He was replaced by assistant coach Jalel Kadri. Kadri will oversee the team in a World Cup qualifying playoff against Mali in March. Tunisia beat Nigeria in the last 16 at the African Cup in Cameroon to raise hopes of a strong challenge this year. But it lost 1-0 to Burkina Faso in the quarterfinals.
