One name has come up as evidence in recent hours, that of Habib Beye. Best National coach last season with Red Star, the former captain of Olympique de Marseille has 44 caps with Senegal and has not had a club since last June. After leaving Red Star, the native of Suresnes thought he had offers from Ligue 1 clubs, but ultimately did not receive the offers he had hoped for. Even if his career plan was undoubtedly different, he could against all odds take charge of the Lions of Téranga. Be careful though because other names are on the table according to local media, such as Malick Daf, Youssouf Dabo and Pape Thiaw.
