Senegal part company with Afcon-winning coach Cisse

After leading Senegal to their first-ever Africa Cup of Nations title earlier this year, coach Aliou Cisse has been relieved of his duties by the Senegalese Football Federation.

Cisse, who has been in charge of the national team since 2015, was hailed as a hero after guiding the Lions of Teranga to victory in the AFCON 2022 final against Egypt.

However, a string of poor results in World Cup qualifying matches has led to the federation’s decision to part ways with the 45-year-old coach.

Cisse’s departure comes as a shock to many fans and players, who have praised his leadership and tactical acumen throughout his tenure.

Speculation is now rife as to who will take over as the new head coach of Senegal, with several high-profile names being linked to the position.

Despite his departure, Cisse will always be remembered as the coach who brought glory to Senegal on the continental stage.

His achievements with the national team will never be forgotten, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations of Senegalese footballers.

Senegal will now look to build on their success under a new coach and continue to compete at the highest level in African and international football.

It is a sad day for Senegalese football, but the future remains bright as the team looks to write new chapters in their history.
