Succession de Pape Thiaw : la bombe à retardement qui menace la FSF
The succession of Pape Thiaw presents the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) with an institutional dilemma as the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) delivers its verdict, expected no later than August 21. Seized by Mady Touré (president of Génération Foot) to contest the regularity of the last election, the CAS must rule on the validity of Abdoulaye Fall's election as president, which it could either confirm or annul. In its analysis, L'Observateur suggests that the appointment of a new national team coach could be significantly jeopardized if the FSF's governance were to be called into question.
Two options stand out: continue the process immediately to allow the Lions to prepare for their upcoming matches, or suspend the appointment until a verdict is reached. The newspaper points out that an appointment made by a management team that is ultimately overruled could be challenged by a new leadership and plunge the future coach into an atmosphere of instability.
Former FSF president Alioune Abatalib Gueye, interviewed by the same source, urged caution. He believes a comprehensive evaluation of the last campaign is necessary before choosing Pape Thiaw's successor. He added, "Out of respect, when there's a dispute, it's best to wait before making certain decisions."
This cautious approach is also advocated by former international Ibrahima Sonko. In the pages of the daily newspaper of the Groupe Futurs Médias (GFM), he warns that "a coach needs a relationship of trust with the leaders who chose him." According to Sonko, if the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling leads to a change at the head of the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF), the new team should be able to choose the coach responsible for implementing its sporting project.
