Having stopped for more than two years and a last match against Rwanda on June 7, 2022, the former left-back of the Lions is retiring from the field for good, strong in his title of African champion.
One of the most surprising career endings. Without a club since leaving AS Nancy-Lorraine in July 2022, Saliou Ciss has decided to definitively end his professional football career at the age of 34. The former Diambars player made the news official throughrs our colleagues from Record. “I stopped playing football! Bayina football (in Wolof). I think it’s time. I stopped. I’m on the other side. Right now, I’m just following my family, taking care of them and that’s it ” he said.
“I feel concerned every time Senegal plays”
Having played for Tromsø IL, Valenciennes and Angers, Saliou Ciss has especially left his mark on the supporters of the Senegal National Team. Although often criticized, he had everyone in agreement during the 2022 African Cup of Nations. A CAN won by the Lions, for the first time time in history, in Cameroon, where Ciss had delivered excellent performances from the start to the end of the competition. And that is precisely what makes it mysterious that he has not found a club since the summer of 2022 until stopping now.
“Well, I’m in my corner, I do what I have to do, I’m happy with my family and everything is going well. My children, my wife, my parents… Everyone is doing well. I say Alhamdoulilah!”adds the one who will now and always remain a supporter of the Lions. “I am Senegalese (laughs). Every time the National Team plays, I feel concerned. Every time it is about Senegal, I am there.” In any case, his service during his 38 selections with the Senegal National Team will never be forgotten.
