Équipe nationale U17 : Pape Ibrahima Faye s’en va et fustige le silence de la FSF
Senegal's U17 coach, Pape Ibrahima Faye, has announced his departure, denouncing a lack of communication from the Senegalese Football Federation, from which he says he has received no official notification.
Pape Ibrahima Faye will no longer be in charge of Senegal's U17 national team. While awaiting an official announcement from the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF), the coach himself has confirmed his departure.
And so ends the adventure between the Kaolack-born coach and the Young Lions. Having arrived two years ago, he led the team to the final stages of the Africa Cup of Nations and the World Cup. Respectable performances, but without managing to equal the achievement of his predecessor, Serigne Saliou Dia, crowned African champion in 2023. In both competitions, the Senegalese national team was eliminated in the second round.
Interviewed by Galaxy TV on the sidelines of the Senegalese Cup quarter-final between Teungueth FC and Diambars (1-2), played Thursday at the Ngalandou Diouf stadium, "PIF" officially confirmed his situation. "I was on the bench during the last AFCON and the World Cup, but today, I can say that I am no longer the coach of the U17 team," he declared.
The coach made no secret of his incomprehension regarding the FSF's attitude, pointing to a serious lack of communication. "I learned through the press and social media that I had been dismissed, like everyone else. No one contacted me. There was also no information concerning preparations for the next AFCON, scheduled for May 13 to June 2, 2026, in Morocco. So, you could say I'm no longer in my position," he lamented.
This situation illustrates, once again, the ambiguity surrounding the management of certain national teams, with several technical staffs finding themselves in uncertainty due to a lack of clear communication from the governing body of Senegalese football.
