Habib Beye is the front runner and the likely candidate to succeed Pap Thiaw as the Head Coach of Senegal Senior National Team.
The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) is strongly focusing its search on Habib Beye reports [L’Équipe].
The federation prefers a manager of Senegalese origin, continuing the successful local-coach philosophy that defined the tenures of both Thiaw and Aliou Cissé.
Meanwhile, the elimination in the round of 32 of the World Cup against Belgium (2-3) does not mark the end of the difficulties for the Lions of Senegal. While the delegation was supposed to return to Dakar on Thursday night, the return trip has ultimately been postponed, as some players are still stranded in the United States.
According to information gathered by our colleague Malang Sané, the delegation did indeed go to the airport, where their departure was scheduled for around 2:00 AM (local time). But after several hours of waiting, no plane was available.
“The players went to the airport, but after waiting for hours, there were no flights available. They finally returned to their hotel,” a source present at the scene confirmed.
