Senegal have decided to part ways with head coach Aliou Cisse, who led them to victory at the Africa Cup of Nations in 2022 and the past two World Cup tournaments.
The news came from Senegal sports minister Khady Diene Gaye, according to the local football association, citing a government request not to renew his contract.
Cisse, a former captain of the national team and Paris Saint-Germain player, took over as coach in 2015 and led the country to their first AFCON title two years ago.
Senegal also reached the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup but fell at the same stage of this year’s AFCON, where they were eliminated by hosts and eventual champions Ivory Coast
