Following Senegal’s unexpected exit from the recent African Cup of Nations, the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) has reaffirmed its commitment to coach Aliou Cissé, entrusting him with the responsibility of guiding the national team through the upcoming World Cup qualification campaign.
Despite being hailed as frontrunners for victory, Senegal’s journey in the tournament came to an abrupt end in the round of 16, with a disappointing defeat to Ivory Coast.
However, the FSF acknowledges the strides made under Cissé’s leadership, citing “notable progress” during the competition.
Aliou Cissé, a former midfielder for PSG and Sedan, has been at the helm of the Senegalese national team since 2015.
His tenure has been marked by both successes and setbacks, with the recent disappointment serving as a rallying point for renewed determination.
Recognizing the challenges ahead, the FSF has opted to extend Cissé’s contract until 2026, affirming its confidence in his ability to navigate Senegal through the complexities of international football.
With the World Cup qualification on the horizon, Cissé faces the formidable task of steering his team towards securing a coveted spot in the global showcase.
Born in Ziguinchor, Cissé brings a wealth of experience and passion to his role, embodying the spirit of Senegalese football.
His leadership extends beyond the sidelines, instilling a sense of unity and purpose within the national team.
As Senegal embarks on its quest for World Cup qualification, Cissé’s vision and tactical acumen will be instrumental in shaping the team’s journey.
With the support of the FSF and the unwavering backing of Senegalese football enthusiasts, Cissé remains steadfast in his commitment to realizing the nation’s footballing aspirations on the global stage.
With renewed determination and a clear mandate, Aliou Cissé stands ready to lead Senegal’s charge towards World Cup qualification, aiming to write a new chapter in the nation’s footballing history.
