Former Senegal national team coach Alain Giresse has expressed confidence in the team's ability to reach at least the semifinals of the FIFA World Cup. In a recent interview, Giresse highlighted the squad's depth and talent as key factors for a deep tournament run.
Giresse, who coached Senegal from 2013 to 2015, noted that the current generation of players, including stars like Sadio ManΓ© and Kalidou Koulibaly, has the experience and skill to compete with the world's best. He emphasized the importance of team cohesion and tactical discipline.
Senegal, the reigning Africa Cup of Nations champions, have shown strong form in recent international matches. The team is preparing for the 2026 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Giresse's comments come as Senegal continues to build on its recent successes, including a quarterfinal appearance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The former France international midfielder believes the team can go further this time.
