Senegal U-17 coach Serigne Saliou Dia likes enjoyment to be at the heart of his tactical approach. Dia, who has led the team since 2021, is an infectious, enthusiastic character and is mightily proud of the team he led to the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations title in May. That success was made possible by the coach assembling the finest young talents in the country, including Serigne Diouf, Mamadou Lamine Sadio and Amara Diouf.

These exceptional Teranga Cubs are hungry for more success at the FIFA U-17 World Cup Indonesia 2023™. Aware of the wealth of talent he has at his disposal, Dia wants to leave his mark on a competition the loves dearly.
