After suffering a 3-1 defeat to France in the opening match of the World Cup, Pap Tiaw wasted no time. The head coach has bolstered his technical staff with the addition of a new video analyst.

His name is Abdoulaye Seck. The video analyst joins the Teranga Lions' staff with a clear mission: analyze upcoming opponents and scrutinize the team's own performance. In a tournament where the smallest details can make all the difference, his role could prove decisive.

Abdoulaye Seck is no stranger to this arena. He previously worked in Mauritania and, until recently, was part of Amir Abdou's staff with the Burkina Faso national team. He holds a CAF B license and brings considerable experience to the group.
After the 1-3 defeat to France, Senegal now faces a must-win in their second Group A match against Norway on June 23.
