Tunisia are at their 12th consecutive Nations Cup - the best record of any team on the continent.
Their sole title came on home soil in 2004, beating North African rivals Morocco in the final.
They have reached the quarter-finals at four of the last six tournaments, but exited in the group stages in 2013.
Sfaxien chairman Lotfi Abdennadher was thrilled at capturing a coach who rose to prominence by winning three consecutive Ivorian titles from 1990 for Asec Mimosas. "We have never had a coach of his level, experience, ability and vision. Talking with Philippe I quickly realised we were on the same wavelength," he said.
The Super Eagles climbed three places in the Confederation of African Football region and 10 spots on the global list - up to 34th in the world.
Coton Sport secure a dramatic victory against Asec Mimosas.
