Patrick Vieira Appointed Senegal National Team Coach

Former Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira has been named Senegal’s new national team manager, succeeding Pape Bouna Thiaw. The appointment follows Senegal’s elimination in the round‑of‑16 at the recent World Cup, where losses to Norway and others prompted a coaching change.

Vieira, 50, brings a wealth of experience: he has coached New York City, Nice, Crystal Palace, Strasbourg and Genoa, and is a native of Senegal. He is a former French international, spent nine years with Arsenal, winning three league titles, and was unemployed after Genoa dismissed him in November last year. sportbet.rodeo
