Senegal national team coach Pape Thiaw has confirmed that contractual issues between him and the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) have been resolved. Speaking to the press on June 20, 2026, Thiaw stated, 'We have solved the contract problem,' without providing further details on the terms.
The coach, who took over the Lions of Teranga in 2024, emphasized that the resolution allows the team to focus entirely on upcoming matches. 'The most important thing is the team and the objectives we have set,' he added.
Thiaw's contract had been a subject of speculation in local media, with reports suggesting delays in negotiations. However, the coach dismissed any notion of distraction, saying the squad remains united and motivated.
Senegal is preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and the Africa Cup of Nations. Thiaw expressed confidence in his players, noting that the team's performance on the pitch is the priority.
