Aliou Cisse Aims to Lead Senegal to Africa Cup of Nations Glory in 2025 and World Cup Success

Senegal’s head coach, Aliou Cisse, is setting his sights high as he hopes to lead his nation to glory in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations and beyond. With a talented squad at his disposal, Cisse believes that Senegal has what it takes to win the FIFA World Cup in the near future.

Having already tasted success by guiding Senegal to their first AFCON title in 2021, Cisse is determined to see his team lift the trophy once more in 2025. Despite their early exit in the 2023 tournament, Cisse remains confident in his players’ abilities and is focused on achieving success on the continental stage.

But Cisse’s ambitions don’t stop there. The Senegal boss is also eyeing success on the global stage, with hopes of winning the World Cup with his talented squad. With the likes of Sadio Mane leading the way, Cisse believes that Senegal’s golden generation has what it takes to compete with the best teams in the world.

Cisse is not alone in his belief in African teams’ potential on the world stage. Former Roma boss Jose Mourinho has also expressed his faith in African nations, particularly singling out Senegal as a team to watch. Mourinho has advocated for FIFA to allow African players to represent their home nations rather than European countries, in order to strengthen the continent’s presence in major tournaments.

As Cisse celebrates a new milestone with Senegal, marking his 100th game in charge of the national team, the coach remains focused on achieving success and making history with his talented squad. With the Africa Cup of Nations on the horizon and the World Cup in their sights, Senegal will be a team to watch in the coming years as they aim to make their mark on the global stage.
