El Hadji Diouf attacks Cisse and Le Roy on Senegal future

El-Hadji Diouf has reiterated his remarks that Cisse should be axed as the Teranga Lions coach, while also attacking former Senegal mentor Claude Le Roy for defending the incumbent.

Following Senegal’s group stage exit from the just-ended World Cup, Diouf has emerged as one of Cisse’s fierce critics.

The Senegal crop of 2002 in the Korea/Japan World Cup, captained by Cisse, captured the imagination of the world when they reached the last-eight in their debut appearance at the tournament, with Diouf as one of their star performers.

Inevitably, the current side drew comparisons with with the Class of 2002, and Diouf has called for Cisse's sacking.
