Senegal part company with Afcon-winning coach Cisse

Senegal have announced their decision to part ways with coach Aliou Cisse, following their historic victory in the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) earlier this year.

Cisse, who led the team to their first ever Afcon title in 2022, has been in charge of the Lions of Teranga since 2015, having also represented the nation as a player in the past.

The Senegalese Football Federation expressed their gratitude to Cisse for his contributions to the national team and wished him well in his future endeavors.

Despite their success under his guidance, the federation felt it was time for a new direction and approach for the team moving forward.

Cisse’s departure marks the end of an era for Senegalese football, as they look to build on their recent triumph and continue their progress on the international stage.

The search for a new coach is already underway, with the federation aiming to appoint a suitable successor in the coming weeks.

Speculation is rife about potential candidates for the job, with many eyes on former players and experienced coaches who could potentially lead Senegal to further success.

Senegal will be hoping to maintain their momentum and success in the upcoming qualifiers and tournaments, as they aim to establish themselves as a dominant force in African football.

Cisse’s tenure may be coming to an end, but his legacy and impact on Senegalese football will undoubtedly be remembered and celebrated for years to come.
