{{Former Senegal coach Bruno Metsu died on Tuesday following a long battle with cancer at a clinic in his hometown of Coudekerque Village in Northern France.}}
Metsu, 59, will be greatly remembered for his heroics in the 2002 FIFA World Cup where he led Senegal to the quarterfinal stage.
The Frenchman was diagnosed with colon cancer a few months after after replacing legendary Argentine forward Diego Maradona as the head coach of Al Wasl club in July 2012.
Senegal, under Metsu’s guidance, made their maiden appearance in the 2002 global soccer bonanza where they pulled off a shock by downing defending champions France 1-0 in their opening match.
