Etoile du Sahel Name New Coach

May 27, 2009

Former African champions Etoile du Sahel named Lotfi Rhim as their new coach on Tuesday, a club statement said.

Etoile who are favourites to add this year’s MTN CAF Champions League title to their success in 2007, have broken with recent tradition by appointing a Tunisian coach.

Rhim, who has signed a one-year contract, replaces Gernot Rohr, the German coach fired earlier this month after Etoile failed to win the Tunisian league title.
