Senegal Federation boss Augustin Senghor hits back at El-Hadji Diouf attacking coach Aliou Cisse

Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) president Augustin Senghor has hit back at El-Hadji Diouf for his continuous attacks on Teranga Lions coach Aliou Cisse.

Diouf has appeared on Senegalese television as well as quoted by various local publications in the past two months calling for the sacking of his former teammate Cisse.

This comes after Cisse failed to lead Senegal to the knockout rounds at the Fifa World Cup in June, before having his contract extended by a year last month.

Diouf’s criticism, which is usually laden with vitriol, has sucked in Senghor who has come to the defence of the coach, suggesting that Diouf is bitter for not being part of the Cisse's technical team.
