Demba Ramata Ndiaye, the coach of the local Lions, revealed that he and his staff have not received any payment since he took office eight months ago. This disclosure comes in the aftermath of harsh criticism following the team’s elimination by Mauritania for the 2014 championship.
Ndiaye emphasized the challenging conditions in which they have been working and stated that he had warned about the serious situation multiple times. Despite the difficulties, he expressed his commitment to staying in the role, likening himself to a captain who does not abandon his ship in the middle of a crisis. The coach highlighted the lack of means in place before the match with Mauritania, shedding light on the financial challenges faced by the coaching staff.
