French footballer and former
national Coach of the Senegalese Football Team, Bunor Metsu has passed on. He died yesterday at the age of fifty-nine,
after battling with
stomach cancer.
Bunor Metsu was previously the manager of Al Wasl, Al-Gharafa and Qatari national football team. He is perhaps most notable in Europe for coaching Senegal to a surprise victory over France in the opening match of the 2002 World Cup. While working in the Middle East, he converted from Christianity to Islam. He later changed his name to Abdullah Metsu.
Metsu's
playing career was largely based in his native France, along with a spell in Belgium
with Anderlecht. After retiring as a player, he took up the assistant manager
post at his last club, Beauvais, and by 1988, he became full-time manager of
the club. He spent over a decade coaching in France before his first foray into
international management.
Metsu
took over African national side Guinea in 2000 before joining Senegal later
that year.
ADIEU GREAT ONE!!!1
