The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) has announced a significant restructuring within the national team coaching staff, with Pape Thiaw appointed as the first assistant coach to Aliou Cissé. Thiaw replaces Régis Bogaert, who departs after several years in the role.
Pape Thiaw, who led the local national team to the 2021 African Nations Championship (CHAN) title, steps into this new position with a wealth of experience.
His appointment marks a strategic move by the FSF to bring fresh insights and ideas to the senior national team.
Thiaw’s promotion is seen as a reward for his achievements at the domestic level, and his close working relationship with Cissé is expected to strengthen the technical team as Senegal looks ahead to upcoming international competitions.
