The Nigeria's D'Tigress defeating the Senegalese women's national team has led to the coach, Moustapha Gaye resigning from his position, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Despite showing promises earlier in the game, Senegal in the final match of 2023 FIFA Women's Afrobasket succumbed to the inspiring display of the Nigeria side losing 84-74 at the BK Arena on Saturday.

The defeat made it the four consecutive times D'Tigress won the title equalling the feat that have been achieved by the Senegal women's basketball national team after the Saturday loss.

The coach announced his resignation at the post-match conference organised after the game.

" It's my last game with the women's team, I have decided before the competition.

There will be an appointment of another coach in the coming months to prepare for the 2025 Women's Afrobasketball championship.

" One mission end and another mission will come, I congratulate the players", he said.

D'Tigress have been dominating the championship since 2017, then 2019, 2021 and now 2023.
