Aliou Cisse has stepped down as head coach of the Libyan national football team after just 10 matches in charge, the coach confirmed on Wednesday.
His final two games with Libya, both friendlies last month, ended in draws against Niger and Liberia.
“This March has been very special for me, as it marked my last gathering as coach of the Libyan national team,” Cisse said. “This adventure has been incredibly enriching, both professionally and personally.”
Cisse previously managed his native Senegal for nearly a decade, from 2015 to 2024, leading them to their first-ever Africa Cup of Nations title in 2021 after losing the 2019 final.
During his brief tenure with Libya, the team missed out on qualifying for their first World Cup, finishing third in their group behind Cameroon and Cape Verde.
