Jaidi retires from Tunisia

Jaidi, 31, went to the World Cup in the summer under coach Roger Lemerre.

The poor display of the team in Germany and then during a goalless draw against Mauritius in an African Cup of Nations qualifying match persuaded him it was time to drop out.

"I won't go back on my retirement decision," he said. "I took the decision after the Tunisian team's participation in the World Cup and what happened during the qualifying match against Mauritius."

Jaidi won 88 caps for Tunisia and featured in two World Cups.
