Former Liverpool man El Hadji Diouf has been named sporting director of ambitious Senegalese second-tier club Guediawaye FC.
The 39-year-old, who was never far from controversy during and after his Premier League career, retired from football in 2015 but has continued to work in the game in an ambassadorial role.
Diouf will now link-up with Guediawaye with the aim of helping the Dakar-based side gain promotion to the Senegal Premier League.
The club have a long-term project in place and hope to establish themselves as a top-flight side.
