Senegalese Ligue 1: Guédiawaye FC appoints Tabane Dieng as manager

Guédiawaye FC opens a new chapter with the appointment of Tabane Dieng as head coach. The Senegalese coach, who distinguished himself at the helm of AJEL Rufisque last season, has signed a two-year contract with the club from the Dakar suburbs.

Guédiawaye FC has officially announced the arrival of Tabane Dieng as head coach of its first team. The former coach of AJEL Rufisque succeeds Joseph Wagane Senghor and will be tasked with leading the club's sporting project in the coming years.

After an excellent season with AJEL, whom he led to second place in the league, Tabane Dieng has signed a two-year contract. GFC's management sees him as the ideal player to strengthen the team's competitiveness and help them reach the next level in the Senegalese Ligue 1.

This appointment is part of the new dynamic initiated by the club, which aims to build a team capable of competing at the highest level. After a difficult start to the season, Guédiawaye FC ultimately secured its place in the top flight, thanks in particular to the work done by Joseph Wagane Senghor, who arrived mid-season. However, he did not extend his contract with the club.

The change also comes just weeks after the arrival of a new president. In early July, Mouhamed Dieng, head of a sports betting company, was elected to lead Guédiawaye FC for a four-year term. His objective is clear: to further structure the club and make it a leading force in Senegalese football, with higher sporting ambitions in the coming seasons.
