Roger Lemerre
Seven minutes passed in the second half before another Tunisian striker, Ziad Jaziri gave his country the lead. The match ultimately ended 2-1, giving Tunisia its first African Cup of Nations title. Roger Lemerre also becomes the first coach to win two different continental tournaments. The national team also wins the African National Team of the Year award from the Confederation of African Football. The victory gives rise to the team's nickname, the "Eagles of Carthage" and, as a result, the team badge is changed to incorporate an eagle.
