Trabelsi had 52 caps for the Tunisia national football team and was a participant at the 1998 FIFA World Cup. After retirement as a player, he became an assistant coach for the Tunisia and coached national side for one match against France as a caretaker coach.[citation needed]

On 11 March 2011, Trabelsi was officially appointed as the manager of the Tunisian national team. But following the failure of the national team to get past the first round at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, Tunisia accepted Trabelsi's resignation, and he was replaced by the Tunisian coach Nabil Maâloul.[citation needed]
