Senegal have parted company with manager Pape Thiaw after the country's last-32 elimination at the World Cup 2026.
The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) confirmed the decision on Sunday in a statement that read: "After a thorough evaluation of the sporting results and prospects of the national team, the Executive Committee deemed it necessary to initiate this procedure in the best interests of Senegalese football."
Senegal came into the World Cup with high hopes as the reigning Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) champion.
But their campaign in North America got off to a rocky start, as they lost their opening two group matches against France and Norway.
The Lions of Teranga still scraped into the round of 32 as one of the best third-place teams following a 5-0 triumph over Iraq.
