Senegal part company with Afcon-winning coach Cisse

Senegal’s Football Federation has announced that they have parted ways with their Africa Cup of Nations-winning coach, Aliou Cisse. The decision comes after a series of disappointing performances by the national team in recent matches.

Cisse, who led Senegal to their first-ever Afcon title in 2021, has been at the helm of the team for the past five years. However, his inability to replicate that success in subsequent tournaments has led to his dismissal.

The Federation thanked Cisse for his service and wished him well in his future endeavors. They have already begun the search for a new head coach to lead the team in upcoming competitions.

Speculation is rife about who will replace Cisse, with several names being thrown into the hat. The Federation is keen to appoint a coach who can build on the team’s recent successes and take them to greater heights.

Senegal’s national team has been one of the strongest on the continent in recent years, with a number of talented players making their mark on the international stage. The new coach will have a solid foundation to work with as they look to guide the team to further success.

Fans of the team have expressed mixed feelings about Cisse’s departure, with some believing it was time for a change while others lamenting the loss of a coach who brought them so much joy. Only time will tell if the Federation’s decision was the right one.

As Senegal prepares for upcoming tournaments, all eyes will be on the new coach and how they plan to take the team forward. The expectations will be high, but with the talent at their disposal, there is no reason why Senegal cannot continue to be a force to be reckoned with in African football.
