ASC
Linguere have sacked coach Victor Salvado five months after he failed to
impress the club management.
The
Portuguese coach had been in his first spell at the club, taking charge in
December of 2016.
Linguere
endured a difficult season under Salvado, who has not won a single league match
since a 2-0 win at home to Ndiambour in April.
His
sacking came hot on the heels of a 2-0 defeat to Guediawaye last weekend, a
result that has raised serious concern on the fate of Asc Linguere, who are
fighting a battle to avoid relegation.
The
club have slipped to 11th place in the 14-team league table on 21 points with
just six games remaining.
They
are also trailed 17 points by league leaders Generation Foot, who enjoy a
seven-point lead at the summit of the league standings on 38 points.
Aziz
Wade, who has no prior coaching experience, is the man chosen to fill the void
left by the departure of the Portuguese coach Salvado.
The
club may likely lose the services of several key players including Gambian
international goalkeeper Modou Jobe, should they fail to stay in the first
division.
Jobe
in particular has constantly been linked with a move away from ASC Linguere
with several Senegalese clubs keen to sign the former Real de Banjul and Armed
Forces goalkeeper.
Jobe
has only one year left in his two-year contract with Linguere, who bought him
from Niarry Tally for an undisclosed transfer fee in November 2016.
