Former Senegal national team coach Aliou Cisse is set to be appointed as the new head coach of Libya’s Mediterranean Knights, according to BSNSports.com.ng. reports.

Cisse has been without a managerial role since leaving the Teranga Lions in 2024.

The Libya Football Federation has been searching for a new coach following the team's disappointing performance in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.

The 49-year-old has been in Libya for the past few days for negotiations and even attended a legends match on Friday.

Cisse previously guided Senegal to their first-ever AFCON title in 2021 in Cameroon.
