The Lions of Teranga emerged from a very tough Group I as one of eight best third-placed teams, finishing behind France and Norway.
They then faced Belgium in the knockout rounds and looked on course to qualify for the last 16, with a two-goal advantage heading into the final minutes of the match - only for Romelu Lukaku and Youri Tielemans to complete the comeback in injury time at the end of the match for a 3-2 defeat.

"Following deliberations, the Emergency Committee unanimously approved the appointment of Mr Patrick Vieira as head coach of Senegal's senior national team," read a FSF statement.
