Patrick Vieira has been officially presented as the new head coach of Senegal, describing his appointment in Dakar as an emotional homecoming. In his maiden 29-man squad selection, the former France international made bold choices by omitting star forward Sadio Mane due to physical issues.
Former Brazilians defender Wayne Arendse believes the increasing number of South African internationals playing overseas will be a significant advantage for the new Bafana boss. As the legendary coach begins his second stint in charge of the national team, the shifting landscape of the national squad could provide the tactical edge needed to secure long-awaited silverware.
