Grosse colère d'un joueur en interne, conflit entre la FSF et Pape Thiaw... Les révélations explosives de Yoro Mangara sur l'équipe du Sénégal
Alongside Senegal's disastrous results at the 2026 World Cup (0 points in two matches), the Lions' camp has been rocked by off-field issues. According to information from journalist Yoro Mangara, speaking on Evenprod's "Matinale" program, several things may have undermined the morale of some players.
Initially, according to Mangara, Bara Sapoko Ndiaye and Ilay Camara were slated to be named as reserves. However, after the Bayern Munich midfielder's friendly match against the United States, Pape Thiaw changed his mind. He then designated striker Chérif Ndiaye as one of the two reserves.
But the Samsunspor player reportedly flew into a rage before the national team staff intervened to inform him that he would ultimately remain in place of Moustapha Mbow, who missed the match against the USA. "When a coach no longer listens to his key players but does exactly what they want, he loses the rest of the team," he said.
Yoro Mangara also mentions the open conflict between the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) and national team coach Pape Thiaw, who joined the United States without a contract and with five months of unpaid wages. According to Mangara, the FSF offered Thiaw a salary of 18 million CFA francs, while he was asking for 50 million. After a disagreement, the coach contacted the then Minister of Sports, Khady Diène Gaye, directly, with whom he reached an agreement for around 30 million CFA francs.
But the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) became angry and found it disrespectful that Pape Thiaw contacted the Minister of Sports without their approval. Consequently, Mangara adds, the Federation did not provide Pape Thiaw with the best possible conditions, only to then dismiss him at the end of the World Cup.
During his appearance on Evenprod's "Matinale" program, Yoro Mangara also criticized Pape Thiaw for broken promises to some players and questionable management of others. "You spoke to Assane Diao to convince him to come (play with Senegal) at the World Cup, then he didn't play a single minute. Meanwhile, Sadio Mané is struggling because we all know he can no longer make long transitions when the Senegalese team plays as deep as we've seen," he added.
