Vieira appointed Senegal coach
The Senegalese Football Federation has announced the appointment of former French player Patrick Vieira as the head coach of the Senegal national team, succeeding Baba Tiao, whose tenure ended after the team's exit from the 2026 World Cup in the Round of 32. Vieira, 50 years old, is one of the most prominent French midfielders, having participated in winning the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Championship, with more than 100 international appearances. At the club level, he has managed Crystal Palace in England, as well as Nice and Strasbourg in France, and had a brief period with Genoa in Italy. His first matches with the team are scheduled during the international break in September, as part of preparations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
