Senegal head coach Aliou Cissé has reportedly been sacked as the manager of the 2021 African champions.

Reports by Senegalese news outlet Taggat indicate that the manager is no longer the head coach of the team and has already been informed, with an official announcement pending.

“As announced this morning by Sud Quotidien, Aliou Cissé is no longer the national coach of Senegal,” Taggat stated in their report.

The news outlet further suggested that the manager’s dismissal was due to discontentment over the team’s recent performances, adding that the Senegal Football Federation is considering a local coach as a replacement.

“The FSF was informed of this decision via a confidential letter, motivated by popular pressure and a growing disenchantment between the national team and the public in recent months. According to our information, Aliou Cissé has already been informed of this decision, and the State would favour a Senegalese coach to succeed him.”

Aliou Cissé has been in charge of Senegal since 2015, leading the team to their historic AFCON triumph in 2021.

The English Premier League matchday 33 delivered high drama and significant movements in the table as Chelsea pulled off a last-gasp comeback, Wolves completed a historic double over Manchester United, and Arsenal cruised to a dominant away victory.
Over at Craven Cottage, Fulham suffered a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Chelsea. Enzo Maresca’s side clawed back from a goal down to snatch all three points dramatically.

Chelsea claimed a dramatic 2-1 comeback win over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon to strengthen their push for UEFA Champions League qualification. Goals from Tyrique George and Pedro Neto in the final 15 minutes turned the tide after Alex Iwobi’s first-half strike had given the hosts the lead.

Chelsea struggled to create clear chances despite dominating possession for large stretches. The Blues lacked composure in the final third, with Pedro Neto seeing a powerful effort blocked by Bernd Leno and Cole Palmer dragging a promising opportunity wide after a clever run into the area.

Alex Iwobi had put Fulham ahead in the 20th minute, but Chelsea responded late. Tyrique George equalized in the 83rd minute before Pedro Neto fired home a stoppage-time winner (90’+3). The victory lifts Chelsea back to fifth, now just two points behind third-placed Newcastle.

At Portman Road, Ipswich Town suffered a humiliating 0-4 defeat at the hands of Arsenal. The Gunners dismantled the Premier League newcomers with a clinical performance.

Leandro Trossard netted twice (14’, 69’), while Gabriel Martinelli (28’) and teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri (88’) also got on the scoresheet. The win keeps Arsenal firmly in the title race and adds to Ipswich’s struggles near the bottom of the table.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United suffered a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Wolves in the Premier League matchday 33. Pablo Sarabia stunned the home crowd with a sublime free-kick in the 77th minute, sealing a second win of the season over United for Wolves.
