FSF-Ministère des Sports: Qui va payer les indemnités de Pape Thiaw?
The settlement of severance pay for Pape Thiaw, dismissed from his position as coach of the Lions of Teranga after the 2026 World Cup, is the subject of negotiations between the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) and the Ministry of Sports. Meetings between the two parties are expected this week to try to reach a final agreement, according to reports from Jeune Afrique.
According to the pan-African magazine, the termination of Pape Thiaw's contract, formalized on July 12 after Senegal's elimination in the round of 16 of the World Cup against Belgium (2-3), leaves open the question of the financial responsibility for the compensation owed to the coach.
The contract, signed a few days before the start of the competition, stipulated a monthly salary of €45,000, as well as a signing bonus of €183,000. The termination clause would represent approximately eight months' salary, or nearly €360,000 (approximately 236.14 million FCFA).
But the Ministry of Sports, headed since June by Clotilde Djireye Coly, reportedly informed the FSF that it did not intend to assume this responsibility, arguing that the contract had not received its prior approval. This situation has thus created a conflict between the federation and its supervisory body regarding payment responsibility.
"There will be meetings this week between the FSF and the Ministry of Sports. I think we will reach an agreement to definitively settle this matter," a member of the Federation, who requested anonymity, told JA.
This case comes amid strong criticism of the FSF following Senegal's participation in the World Cup, particularly regarding the management of the coach's contract, the accommodation conditions of the delegation, and certain aspects related to the functioning of the organization.
Beyond the financial case of Pape Thiaw, the Federation must also accelerate the process of appointing his successor, just weeks before the start of the 2027 AFCON qualifiers.
The president of the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF), Abdoulaye Fall, indicated that six candidates were being considered, including former Senegalese international Habib Beye. The possibility of hiring French coaches Hervé Renard and Patrick Vieira was also discussed, although Renard has since been appointed manager of the Ivory Coast national team. The FSF hopes to announce its decision in the coming days.

"les hypocrites veulent toujours jouer les innocents"
Un pays comme le Senegal devrait depasser ce stade depuis, rien ne se passera et des generations de talents purs seront sacrifiees juste par l`insouciance de ces vieux peres . Et quand ils partiront mettront un proche ou ami en place comme le foot Senegalais leur appartenait.... c`est dommage l`Africain refuse le developpement qui est d`abord mental avant tout.
Regarder la difference et le manque de serieux de notre federation rek comparait a celle de la France.

Félicitations Pape
L’essentiel soyons un peu sérieux avec les sénégalais.
On parle de Souleymane Diallo en tant que intérimaire.
Je rêve où quoi,
Qu‘est-ce que vous attendez pour signer le contrat de Patrick Vieira, on perd trop de temps au moment où les autres équipes africaines sont déjà au travail.
