Édouard Mendy's New Revelations: 'What I Told Patrick Vieira'

Édouard Mendy disclosed that he had a lengthy phone conversation with Patrick Vieira, the new coach of the Lions, regarding his decision to retire from international football. Despite Vieira's attempts to persuade him to continue, Mendy confirmed that his decision had been made since January, unrelated to internal tensions following the 2026 World Cup elimination. He also praised Vieira's 'Vision 2030' for Senegalese football.
