Vieira Senegal Appointment In Doubt Before CAS Ruling

Patrick Vieira and Senegal Football Federation
Wednesday

Patrick Vieira’s announced appointment as Senegal coach remains uncertain because he has not signed a contract and the federation is still negotiating administrative terms. A pending CAS ruling could also challenge the legitimacy of the current federation leadership.

Former coach Pape Thiaw’s exit is unresolved, including a reported claim for unpaid wages and bonuses. If CAS rules against the federation leadership, Vieira’s appointment could be questioned before Senegal begin Africa Cup of Nations qualifying in September.
