Etoile Sportive du Sahel sacked on Saturday the Spanish coach Juan Carlos Garrido after almost 82 days. 

On November 18, the Tunisian side had appointed the former Al Ahly coach as new manager to succeed the former coach Faouzi Benzarti.    

The Tunisian side said on their official Twitter page that both sides decided to part ways by mutual consent. 

During his stay in Tunisia, he led them in thirteen games, winning five, drawing in two and losing five other matches. 

Garrido also guided the Tunisian club to qualify for the CAF Champions League quarter-finals as group B winners. 

Who is Garrido?

Garrido is a Spanish football manager, who was born on March 29, 1969. He began his career as a manager at the age of 24 when he had led Club de Futbol El Puig. 

After that, he led several prominent clubs such as Villarreal, Real Betis, Saudi's Ettifaq FC, Al Ain FC, and Egypt's Al Ahly. 

The 50-year-old had guided the Red Devils to claim the Egyptian Super Cup title and the CAF Confederations Cup trophy in 2014 for the first time in the history of Al Ahly.

His last step before du Sahel was in UAE, where he was named as Al Ain's head coach.
