Career

edit

Formerly a player at hometown club CA Bizertin, Kebaier became manager of the club in 2000,[3] following a spell at AS Djerba that began in 1998. Kebaier thus moved to AS Kasserine, before joining Étoile du Sahel for two spells, beginning in 2010. In 2013, Kebaier rejoined Bizertin, winning the 2013 Tunisian Cup.

In 2014, Kebaier joined Club Africain, before moving to AS Marsa in the same year, departing in 2016. In 2016, Kebaier joined Espérance de Tunis as a youth coach, managing the club for a month at the start of 2018.[4]

In August 2019, Kebaier was appointed manager of Tunisia on a three-year contract, replacing the outgoing Alain Giresse.[5]

On 24 September 2022, he was appointed as new coach of Raja Club Athletic after the early departure of his compatriot Faouzi Benzarti.[6]

He became manager of Club Africain in February 2024.[7][8]
