Senegal Fires Men's Football Coach Pape Thiaw After World Cup Exit
- Senegal fired manager Pape Bouna Thiaw on Saturday, citing the team's disappointing World Cup performance as the reason for the change at the helm.
- Losses to France and Norway in opening group games, followed by squandering a 2-0 lead against Belgium in the round of 32, defined the team's disappointing World Cup campaign.
- Thiaw, 45, faced a five-match ban starting in September for leading a player walk-off during the Africa Cup of Nations final against Morocco in Rabat.
- Following the exit, Midfielder Pape Gueye stated he would not represent the country again until Thiaw was removed; the federation scheduled a Monday press conference.
- French World Cup winner Patrick Vieira, born in Dakar, is reportedly among the favorites to replace Thiaw as Senegal seeks leadership for the next cycle.
