Senegal Reportedly Part Ways With Head Coach Pape Thiaw After World Cup Exit

Senegal have reportedly parted ways with head coach Pape Thiaw following the team's disappointing exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

According to multiple reports, Thiaw and his coaching staff have stepped down after mounting pressure in the aftermath of Senegal's dramatic 3-2 Round of 32 defeat to Belgium.

The decision is said to have come amid growing criticism from supporters, petitions calling for a change in leadership, and reported unrest within the squad after the tournament.

Despite the widespread reports, the Senegal Football Federation has yet to issue an official statement confirming Thiaw's departure at the time of writing.
