The Senegalese Football Federation has dismissed head coach Pape Thiaw and his entire coaching staff following the national team’s disappointing exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The federation’s executive committee confirmed the decision on Sunday, with President Abdoulaye Fall scheduled to hold a press conference on Monday to provide further details.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Thiaw, 45, had been in charge of the Lions of Teranga since 2024. His tenure included a controversial run to the Africa Cup of Nations final in January, where the team was ultimately stripped of the title after walking off the pitch during the final match against Morocco.

Senegal’s 2026 World Cup campaign was marked by inconsistency. After losing their opening group stage matches to France and Norway, they secured a spot in the knockout rounds with a decisive 5-0 victory over Iraq. However, their journey ended dramatically in the Round of 32. Senegal held a commanding 2-0 lead over Belgium until the 86th minute, but Belgium staged a remarkable comeback, forcing extra time and sealing a 3-2 win.

Thiaw’s departure adds him to the growing list of national team coaches who have lost their positions in the aftermath of the 2026 World Cup.
