"Il faut être honnête et le dire" : Maxime Chanot donne son avis sur l'arrivée de Patrick Vieira au Sénégal
The 1998 World Cup winner has been officially appointed as the new manager of Senegal. Appointed until 2030, he will have to revitalize a talented squad that is coming off a disappointing performance at the 2026 World Cup.
Maxime Chanot, a commentator on RMC Sport's After Foot program and former professional footballer, believes that Patrick Vieira's arrival in Senegal is a positive development, especially given the current tensions caused by the federation and its chaotic management of the World Cup in North America. "We have to be very honest and say that there was a rift in Senegal, particularly during the 2026 World Cup. I remember Pape Gueye, who declared that he wouldn't return to the national team as long as the coaching staff remained in place. So, Vieira's arrival is a breath of fresh air for this Senegalese team, and hopefully, Patrick Vieira will be given time to work," he said.
For the former player who spent time at New York City FC and was coached by Patrick Vieira in 2016, there is hope. "He has legitimacy as both a player and a coach. He has played for and managed big clubs like Nice and Crystal Palace. It's interesting to see him accept this national team coaching position because, generally, you only take on a national team when things are difficult at club level, which was the case for him in his last experience in Serie A, where things didn't go well with Genoa. I'm waiting to see how it goes, but I'm hopeful it will work out well," Chanot concluded.
According to several sources, Patrick Vieira's two main objectives will be to qualify Senegal for the final of the next AFCON in 2027, and then to secure qualification for the 2030 World Cup scheduled to be held in Spain, Portugal and Morocco.

Je suis Senegalais/Americain , ca ne fait pas de moi un etranger au Senegal .
Pap gueye , il doit etre le premier à regreter le départ de Pap thiaw car c'est avec lui que tout son talent s'est révélé en équipe nationale. Allez voir les statistiques de pap gueye sous pap thiaw et sous aliou cissé et vous verrez . Il a marqué avec pap thiaw 7 buts en moins de deux ans et sous aliou cissé il a marqué que 2 buts en plus de 3ans.
Pourquoi l'africain a toujours besoin de l'approbation blanche pour croire que c'est le bon????????
Un pays de merde se merite
