"Manio Sané": First Bad Buzz for Patrick Vieira with Senegal

Patrick Vieira, the new Senegal coach, caused a stir by confusing the name of Sadio Mané during a press conference, calling him "Manio Sané." The slip-up quickly circulated on social media, with some supporters mocking or criticizing his commitment. This occurred ahead of the match against Mozambique in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Vieira had previously shown difficulty with players' names during his presentation, but this mistake is especially noticeable given the current context.
