CAN 2025 : Hervé Renard salue le leadership exceptionnel de Sadio Mané
Senegal wrote a new chapter in its history on Sunday, winning its second Africa Cup of Nations title on Moroccan soil. An intense final, marked by tension, controversial refereeing decisions, and unusual scenes, ultimately culminated in the triumph of Sadio Mané's team. At the heart of this collective performance, one man stood out as much for his talent as for his attitude: Sadio Mané.
Having delivered a truly outstanding performance throughout the tournament, the Senegalese striker was a key player. But it was during the final that he truly impressed, not only with his commitment on the pitch but also with his unsung leadership. As tensions rose and some teammates considered leaving the field in protest, the native of Bambali managed to calm the situation and keep the team focused on their objective: victory.
This behavior did not escape the notice of Hervé Renard. In an interview with Le Parisien, the former coach of Ivory Coast and Morocco paid a glowing tribute to the player who trained at the Génération Foot academy.
“Sadio Mané never left the pitch. He didn’t react like a frustrated athlete, but like a true leader. For me, he is the great hero of this final and even of the entire AFCON. He was immense on the field, but also as a person. He knew how to talk to his teammates, to make himself heard and respected.”
Hervé Renard went even further in his praise, highlighting the player's exceptional aura in Senegal:
"He commands immense respect. In Senegal, he's a true icon, almost a god. No other player can compare to him today."
Through his exemplary conduct, composure, and team spirit, Sadio Mané has once again proven that he is not only a great footballer, but also an indispensable leader for an entire nation. A natural leader, as evidenced by the historic triumph of the Lions of Teranga.

J'ai toujours dit que Sadio devait être aligné dans notre équipe car à yout moment il pouvait décanter une situation. Et puis à lui seul il fixe 2 joueurs adverses.
BRAVO A SADIO.
Maintenant respectons son choix d'arrêter pour la CAN parce que il a autre vie (s'occuper de sa fille, son épouse et son avenir social).
Merci encore, ANIMBARA NIANTHIO
