Patrick Vieira is set to officially take charge of the Senegal national team. The former French international has shared his thoughts for the first time on his Instagram account.
A new chapter is about to begin for the Lions of Teranga. Just weeks after the disappointment at the 2026 World Cup, the Senegalese Football Federation parted ways with Pape Thiaw and appointed Patrick Vieira as the new head coach. Since then, there have been uncertainties regarding the confirmation of this partnership. However, the storm appears to be settling. The Senegalese federation has announced the release of the squad list for the Lions. The former midfielder expressed his eagerness to lead the team.
“ Honored and proud to join Senegal as the head coach of the national A team. I look forward to meeting the squad and starting, together, the work for the upcoming challenges ”, he stated.
