Yesterday Bruno Metsu commented to Senegalese paper, Stades, that he would be interested in returning at the helm of the Teranga Lions. Although the Frenchman did not formally postulate for the job, he did not rule out his candidature should the Federation of Senegalese Football (FSF) call on him to take the reins of the team following Amara Traoré’s sacking.
Metsu declared his willingness to take the job when he stated: “I am interested because anyone would be interested by the Senegal project. However the ball is in the FSF’s court, but my heart is in it.” The current Al Gharrafa Doha (Qatar) coach opined that the team suffered from “a lack of alchemy” in describing the recent AFCON failure of the national team, before adding that he believes this group has the potential to be as great as the 2002 generation. Metsu concluded by saying that “being under contract [with current club] does not mean being in jail,” thus stoking the flames & corroborating his enthusiasm to returning to the national fold.
Metsu was very successful in his previous stint, taking the Teranga Lions to their first AFCON final as well as the ¼ finals of the 2002 World Cup, which understandably made him [then & still today] a fan-favorite amongst the Senegalese people.
