Viera Guides the Lions of Teranga
The Senegalese Football Federation announced the appointment of Patrick Vieira, the former French midfielder, as the head coach of the national team, succeeding Babacar Tiao after the 2026 World Cup. Vieira, 50 years old, will take on his first role with an African team, having previously managed clubs such as Arsenal, Nice, Strasbourg, and Genoa. The Senegalese team is scheduled to play its first match under his leadership during the international break next month, as part of preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations 2027, with qualifiers beginning in early September. Vieira has achieved significant success as a player, winning the 1998 World Cup, the 2000 European Championship, earning over 100 international caps, playing more than 400 matches with Arsenal, and securing three Premier League titles.
