Aliou Cisse, a former Senegal defender, has been at the helm since March 2015. Under his leadership, Senegal achieved a historic Afcon triumph two years after reaching the final. The team's recent 3-0 victory over The Gambia showcased their strength and determination in the competition.

"I congratulate the players because they played a great match," Cisse remarked after the win over The Gambia. "They respected my instructions and all the advice that I gave them."

Senegal's next challenge is a crucial match against Guinea, where a positive result will see them clinch the top spot in Group C. As Cisse returns to guide his team, Senegal aims to maintain their stellar performance and continue their quest for glory in the Afcon 2023 tournament.{loadmoduleid 378}
