The Lions of Teranga have returned home from the 2026 World Cup with more questions than answers. After a campaign that lasted just four matches, only one victory was recorded, and the elimination came at the hands of Belgium in the Round of 16—despite a commanding 2-0 lead until the final four minutes of regulation time. The fallout was swift: the Senegalese Football Federation dismissed head coach Pape Thiaw and his entire technical staff. But is the firing of one man enough to address the deeper issues that led to this collapse? Who will step up to rebuild the team for the future?
