Reports claimed a foreigner would be lined up to take over the Teranga Lions’ hotseat with French mentor Jacques Santini leading the race. However the committee revealed the country does not have adequate funds to bring in an overseas-born coach. Abdoulaye Sarr heads a shortlist of local candidates to succeed Lamine Ndiaye as the Senegal boss and he will compete with Amara Traore Mayacine Mar and Lamine Dieng for the vacant position. The Teranga Lions have been on a downward spiral since reaching the 2002 World Cup quarter-finals and are in need of an assertive coach who will be able to deal with the mammoth egos of some of the players.
