Kebaier’s assistant Jalel Kadri will take charge of the side for the two-legged play-off against Mali in March for a place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The former champions finished third in their group, but managed to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.

They beat Nigeria 1-0 in the second round before succumbing to Burkina Faso in the Round of 16.
