Senegal concluded the 6th and final day of qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) Morocco 2025 in style by beating Burundi 2-0 on November 19 at the Abdoulaye Wade stadium in Diamniadio. Already qualified before this meeting, the Lions of Téranga delivered a solid performance, illustrating their superiority in group L, throned at 16 points.
Asked about the performance of the national team, Augustin Senghor praised the overall satisfactory record of the Lions. “As far as the results of these qualifiers are concerned, I think it is a positive result. Many had questions during the first match against Burkina, where we were caught in the last moments. But behind it, we were able to manage these qualifiers perfectly,” he said.
The president of the FSF also highlighted the mastery with which the Lions concluded their campaign. “I wouldn’t say that we finished freely, but we can say that we finished this competition in a very controlled manner. This testifies to the quality of the players, the technical staff and the organization. »
With the departure of Alioune Cissé, former coach, questions had emerged about Senegal’s ability to maintain its level of excellence. “We saw that, despite Alioune’s departure, the technical staff and the players were able to take on the challenge together. It’s a great lesson in cohesion and resilience,” he added.
As for the question of the choice of the future coach, the president of the federation remains cautious about the extension of interim coach Pape Thiaw: “It is still too early to comment. An executive committee will meet to define precise criteria. We will always favor national expertise, faithful to our vision. We want a coach capable of continuing Alioune’s work and embodying our values. »
The president of the FSF concluded by specifying that the new staff should be known by the end of the year, emphasizing the need to maintain a system that works. A continuity which suggests a promising future for the Lions on the way to CAN 2025.
