Aliou Cissé achieved significant success with Senegal, guiding them to the last two World Cups, but after nine years, it’s time for a parting of ways. Cissé will be remembered as the longest-serving and most successful coach in the history of the Lions of Teranga. He won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2021, and Senegal had previously reached the final of the same competition in 2019, where they were defeated by Algeria.Après 9 ans à la tête du Sénégal, Aliou Cissé n’est plus le sélectionneur des Lions de la Teranga. 🇸🇳❌Voici son bilan. 🙌🏿 pic.twitter.com/LfyzPPTbNl— 🏆 Actu Foot Afrique (@ActuFootAfrique) October 2, 2024 Additionally, he is the only coach besides Frenchman Bruno Metsu to lead Senegal to a World Cup. While Metsu took Senegal to the quarter-finals in 2002, Cissé guided them to the Round of 16 in 2022, where they were eliminated by England.Finding a suitable replacement for someone with such achievements will be challenging. There is also a possibility of appointing a foreign coach, something the country’s Football Association is not unfamiliar with, having employed nine foreign coaches in the past, most of them from France.##NAJAVA_MECA_8380105##
