Attacked on his "not great" club record, Vieira explains why he deserves to be Senegal's coach

Patrick Vieira was officially introduced as the new coach of the Senegal national team. Faced with his "not great" record at Genoa, he stated that he learned from that experience and feels ready to meet the expectations of the Senegalese public. Vieira will need to turn around a team that recently faced a disappointing elimination in the 2026 World Cup, with his debut matches against Mozambique and Ethiopia for the CAN 2027 qualifiers.
