Patrick Vieira was appointed as the new head coach of Senegal on Tuesday, replacing Pape Thiaw. Thiaw was dismissed after Senegal was eliminated from the World Cup in the round of 32. Vieira, a 50-year-old former player and coach, has a successful club career with Inter and AC Milan, Arsenal and Manchester City. However, Vieira's coaching career has not met the same level of success, as he previously coached New York City FC, Nice, Crystal Palace, Strasbourg, and Genoa.
His tenure at Genoa lasted less than a year, ending with the team in last place in Serie A. Senegal lost to Belgium, despite leading 2-0 with five minutes remaining, and their continental title in Morocco was later overturned by the Confederation of African Football. Senegal's appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport is scheduled for October 8.
