Équipe nationale du Sénégal : La piste d'une légende de l'équipe de France activée pour l'après Pape Thiaw
Some Senegalese decision-makers would like to see Patrick Vieira on the bench of the Lions of Teranga to succeed Pape Thiaw, after the elimination in the round of 32 of the World Cup against Belgium (2-3, aet).
An emergency executive committee meeting of the Senegalese Football Federation will take place this Saturday in Dakar. The meeting will focus on a full debriefing of the Lions of Teranga's participation in the World Cup in the United States, which ended with a disappointing exit in the round of 32 against Belgium (2-3, after extra time), falling far short of initial ambitions.
Everything went wrong with the organization, which should warrant some serious internal discussions. How is it possible to have made so many mistakes to end up with this defeat in the Lions' best match, which has reignited their frustrations? Whatever the shortcomings in their preparation, it was a handling error by Mory Diaw that cost Senegal their place in the round of 16.
Pape Thiaw's fate will be the subject of much speculation. He has stated that he extended his contract during the competition, while other internal sources are less certain about this version of events.
This risks sparking a heated debate about the future of a national team coach whose job is hanging by a thread. Internally, some would like to see Patrick Vieira succeed him.
Free from any contract since leaving Genoa in November 2025, born in Dakar, Senegal, and having invested in the creation of Diambars, one of the country's largest youth academies, Vieira presents an ideal profile in the eyes of key decision-makers to take charge of the national team. In a country where the national team remains a major issue in the attempt to revitalize football, Vieira has compelling arguments in his favor.
