“Winning doesn’t change me”: from Paris to Dakar, the secrets of Aliou Cissé, coach of Senegal

Dressed in black from head to toe, his lively eyes framed by large glasses, Aliou Cissé, 48, makes no mistake in taste. Jovial, affable, charming, the former PSG player (1998-2001) draws his strength from his Franco-Senegalese roots. Always happy to return to the Paris region, the coach of the Lions of the country of Teranga, winner of CAN 2022, took advantage of his latest visit to visit us at the Parisien headquarters. Idol for an entire country, he tells with simplicity his journey, his mission, his vision of football and his indelible memories of his experience at PSG.
