TUNIS, June 29 (Reuters) - National team coach George Leekens has ended his contract as coach of Tunisia after not being paid promised bonuses, he told reporters on Monday.
The 66-year-old Belgian had been in the job for just over a year and took Tunisia to the African Nations Cup quarter-finals earlier this year and saw the country beat Djibouti 8-1 a fortnight ago at the start of the 2017 Nations Cup qualifiers.
"An amicable separation without any financial liability to Leekens or the federation was agreed. A new foreign coach will be employed and contacts have commenced," a statement from the Tunisian Football Federation said.
