The president of the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF), Augustin Senghor, announced that the name of the future Lions coach will be known before the end of the year. Speaking after Senegal’s victory against Burundi (2-0), he specified that the executive committee of the FSF will soon look at the criteria and profile of Aliou Cissé’s successor.
« We owe it to our national team and the Senegalese to take this matter seriously. The executive committee will work on this issue in the coming weeks », he declared, specifying that the federation will not launch an international call for applications. “ We maintain our vision of giving priority to Senegalese technicians, whether they are based in Senegal or abroad. »
He also praised the performances of Pape Thiaw, interim coach, who led the Lions to a series of victories in the CAN 2025 qualifiers. “The players and technical staff rose to the challenge, despite the change of coach,” he adds.
