Bras de fer avec la FSF : pourquoi Pape Thiaw pourrait toucher 800 millions F CFA
While the official appointment of Patrick Vieira as head coach of the Lions of Teranga seems a foregone conclusion, the power struggle between the previous coach, Pape Thiaw, and the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) has taken a new turn. The coach, who led the team to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title, has sent a formal notice to the federation, demanding 423 million CFA francs.
This amount represents the total of unpaid salaries since March (180 million), the outstanding portion of the signing bonus (90 million), the special bonus, expenses (10.716 million), housing allowances (12 million), and a fuel allowance (1.104 million). In addition to these sums, there is a bonus of 100 million for winning the 2025 African Championship and qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
But L'Observateur, which revisited this affair in its Monday edition, believes the final bill is likely to be much higher. The daily newspaper, part of the Groupe Futurs Médias, asserts that it could be increased by 420 million CFA francs, representing the total of unpaid bonuses and severance pay. "In total," the newspaper adds, "the dismissal of Pape Thiaw is poised to cost the FSF over 800 million CFA francs, plunging the institution into a genuine financial crisis."
