Abdelmajid Chetali

Abdelmajid Al-Chetali (Arabic: عبد المجيد الشتالي; born 4 July 1939) is a Tunisian football coach and former player who played 70 games with the national team and scored four goals.

Born in Sousse into a family of footballers, Chetali began his career at the Corniche and joined the Etoile Sportive du Sahel (ESS) in 1957 to the position of midfielder and team captain.

In 1961, he participated in the 1962 African Cup of Nations qualification and qualified Tunisia against Nigeria by scoring away with a goal in the 65th minute, but he missed the finals of the competition because he was a victim as few of his teammates of a Malaria crisis.

With this great achievement and despite the many offers, he preferred to stay away from this training, but he had a short experience in 9th Arabian Gulf Cup with Bahrain national football team reaching the semi-finals.

He returned to Étoile du Sahel as a coach for a few months in 2004, replacing Mrad Mahjoub, who was forced to resign after the elimination of the team in the Tunisian Cup semi-final.

Indeed, he is one of the first Arab to analyze a football game on a television screen after introducing a model of land on which there are dolls players.
