Senegal Coach Sorry Over AFCON Chaos

Jan 19, 2026

Senegal's head coach has made a public apology, following the chaos in their Africa Cup of Nations final clash against Morocco.  

He ordered his players to walk off the pitch to protest a penalty that was given to the host nation, after Senegal had a goal disallowed.  

The players returned to the pitch after a 20 minute delay, and Senegal went on to beat Morocco 1-0 in extra time.

Morocco's Brahim Diaz won the Golden Boot.

Tottenham have yet to decide whether to sack boss Thomas Frank.  

However, latest reports say they ARE looking at alternatives, after the Dane only guided Spurs to 3 wins in 15 games in all competitions.  

It's believed that one of the favourites is Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler.  

Spurs are also looking at Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner, forner Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso and ex-Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez.

Other reports claim that Man United will focus on strengthening their midfield in this month's transfer window.  

Their main target is believed to be Wolves' Joao Gomes, who's also a target of Napoli and Atletico Madrid.
