Pape Thiaw’s future with Senegal appears uncertain

The Senegalese Football Federation was considering its next steps regarding the Teranga Lions’ manager.

According to sources, Senegal’s head coach is no longer certain to keep his job. Whilst a new contract had been on the cards for Pape Thiaw, the governing body of Senegalese football is said to have decided to postpone signing it.

The performance of the Lions of Teranga under the former Senegalese international is reportedly raising questions internally. Reports suggest that Pape Thiaw’s management of matches is one of the main concerns for the leadership. Confidence in him is said to have eroded following Senegal’s dramatic elimination in the round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup.

However, no official decision has yet been taken regarding Pape Thiaw’s future.
