The Senegal national team may have a new coach soon. According to L’Equipe, the Senegalese Federation has started its search for a new technician after Senegal was eliminated by Belgium (2-3 ap) in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup.

What happened?

Senegal has lost its last three matches, including the last defeat against France (3-1) on June 16, 2026. This series of defeats has ended Senegal's hopes of continuing in the competition.

Why is this important for Senegal?

The appointment of a new coach is crucial for the team's future. Senegal is looking to preserve the continuity of the project and the identity of the selection. Habib Beye, who has the ambition to one day take the reins of a selection he has worn as a player, is being considered for the position.

What comes next?

The next few weeks will be crucial for Senegal's future. The Senegalese Federation must find a new coach who can turn the team around and lead them to new successes. The following table summarizes Senegal's recent results: | Date | Opponent | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | 2026-06-16 | France | 1-3 |

Senegal must now focus on the next competitions and find a new coach who can lead them to victory.
