The coach of the Lions of Teranga is considering a change. Koulibaly is coming off a difficult period with the national team. He was a substitute in the last two World Cup 2026 matches, without coming on.

This status raises questions about his future with the Lions. Vieira has apparently identified two options to redistribute roles. The name of the next captain has not yet been announced.

The former boss of the Senegalese defense may be living his last hours with the armband. A page could turn. The decision belongs to Vieira. This situation fuels discussions. The armband is a strong symbol for the Lions.
