Since his appointment as the coach of the Senegal national football team on January 10, 2013, Alain Giresse has yet to secure his first victory. In three matches, including two official games and one friendly, the team has managed to secure three draws.
Despite being at the helm for almost six months, Giresse has struggled to notch a win. The team drew 1-1 in his debut friendly match against Guinea in France in February. In March, during a World Cup qualifier against Angola in Conakry, the Lions once again recorded a 1-1 draw. Three months later, in a World Cup qualifier against Angola in Luanda, the team drew 1-1, with the Lions giving up their lead before halftime.
This series of draws has raised concerns among Senegalese fans and analysts. Many are hopeful that the upcoming match against Liberia in Monrovia for the fifth day of qualifiers will provide Giresse with the opportunity to secure his first victory and gain the confidence of the Senegalese supporters. The sentiment among analysts is that this match is perceived as a less complicated test compared to the previous ones, and Giresse has the chance to secure three points and take the lead in their group.
