Amara Traoré, with a dual status as a former player under Bruno Metsu in 2002 and as a former coach of the Senegal national team, spoke highly of Metsu’s qualities. Traoré emphasized that not all foreign coaches are mercenaries, and Bruno Metsu’s success confirmed this.
According to Traoré, Metsu faced challenges at the beginning in Senegal as there were few believers, but he had a clear vision and determination. He acknowledged Metsu’s ability to motivate the team, listen to everyone, and gauge the pulse of the players, making him an effective leader.
Amara Traoré highlighted Metsu’s tactical acumen, stating that he knew how to integrate and position the team effectively. He urged other foreign coaches coming to Africa to learn from Metsu’s approach and understand that success is not solely driven by adventure or money but by a genuine commitment to the national selections.
