Senegal sack manager Pape Thiaw in wake of World Cup exit

Senegal led Belgium 2-0 in their last-32 tie but conceded two late goals and a penalty in extra time as they were dramatically beaten 3-2.

Senegal had come into the 2026 World Cup after appealing against a decision by the Confederation of African Football (Caf) to strip them of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations title following a controversy in which Thiaw had been a main protagonist.

Following the exit, midfielder Pape Gueye said he would be "taking a break" from playing for Senegal while the current management remained in charge.
