President of the Federation of Senegalese Football (FSF), Augustin Senghor, expressed himself last night on the sacking of national team coach, Amara Traoré.
“After some thought and deliberation we have decided, in accordance with the executive committee, to put an end to our collaboration with Amara Traoré and his technical staff.” The president of the FSF added that the sacking is due to “objectives that have not been met as well as a number of deficiencies that we have witnessed during the AFCON campaign.”
President Senghor announced that despite the void left by the sacking of the coach & his technical staff, the friendly match vs. South Africa that was scheduled for the 29th of February still stands. The president of the FSF declared that coaches of the Olympic team, Karim Sega & Aliou Cissé (former 2002 captain), will take charge of the national team in the interim period that a new coach is being sought out. Indeed with the Olympic team scheduled for competition in April, President Senghor aims to draw on what he referred to as the ”logic of continuity” relative to the June qualification period the national team will have to undergo & that a fresh pair of eyes can prove beneficial in the “building of the foundations for a new start after an mid-course accident, albeit an accident that did a lot of damage."
