Senegal’s coach Aliou Cisse has trended online after he won his first Nation Cup victory for his country by beating the Pharaohs of Egypt on penalties, following Sadio Mané’s decisive fine finish on Sunday night in Cameroun.

 
 

Aliou Cisse also made history when he took his country to their last AFCON finals as team captain, but lost on penalty, and reports suggests that he’s been seeking redemption for it ever since.

 
 
 

Several media pages have taken to their channels to praise his efforts and persistence, one I Love Africa page, wrote on their platform saying;

 
 

It took Senegalese coach, Aliou Cissé 8 years to win a trophy for his country. Senegal didn’t sack him or make him resign, neither did they hire a foreign coach.

 
 

He was given all the time and support to coach and build a strong team that has now won the AFCON trophy 🏆.

 
 
 
 

To all African Countries hiring foreign coaches, Believe in your Own, trust, patience and support is needed to grow a nation..

 
 

THE BLACK MAN CAN DO IT!✊🏾🌍
