Senegal's golden generation has been hit by a major crisis. After a disappointing FIFA World Cup campaign, the Senegal Football Federation has sacked head coach Pape Thiaw and his entire technical staff. But the problems go far beyond the pitch. The federation revealed internal disputes over contracts, a breakdown of trust inside the squad, and concerns over the team's medical support after it emerged the national team doctor was not trained in sports medicine. With Senegal preparing for the next AFCON qualifiers, the country now faces a major question: can its golden generation recover before its biggest stars' prime years pass? Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
