For 8 months of unpaid salaries: coach Aliou Cissé leaves Libya for Angola

Senegalese coach Aliou Cissé was appointed as the head coach of the Angolan national team on April 9, 2026, after leaving Libya due to eight months of unpaid salaries. Despite a balanced record of three wins, five draws, and two losses in ten matches, Cissé chose to end his collaboration with the Libyan federation. He received only six months of the eight owed, which prompted his departure. In Angola, he is tasked with building a competitive team.
