Bourges Foot 18, a club competing in the fourth tier of French football, is making waves under the leadership of Sadio Mane.
The Senegalese superstar, who became the club’s president over a year ago, has been on a mission to strengthen his team.
With the goal of achieving promotion to National 1 this season, Mane has already overseen significant changes.
The club, currently sitting ninth in the league standings with 17 points from 13 matches, is striving to close the gap with leaders Saint-Malo, who are 15 points ahead.
While promotion this season seems unlikely, the acquisition of Senegalese players like Papa Diatta Ndiaye, Moussa Konate, and Majoro Ndoye reflects Mane’s vision for the future.
Earlier this week, the club announced Romain Revelli as their new head coach, with former Senegal international Lamine Sane joining as his assistant.
Mane’s ambitions for the club are clear, and now he has added another significant piece to his project.
The big news is the arrival of Cheikh Lo Ndoye, the best player in Senegal, who has officially joined Bourges Foot 18.
Ndoye, a 32-year-old goalkeeper, has been a standout performer for ASC Jaraaf and was named Senegal’s Player of the Season last year.
The goalkeeper’s impressive performances in the CAF Confederation Cup, where he managed six clean sheets in seven games, underscored his quality and earned him this opportunity.
Mane sees him as a crucial addition to secure the team’s goalkeeping position.
For Bourges Foot 18, this signing is a statement of intent.
Landing Senegal’s top player at this level is a significant achievement, and it shows just how serious Mane is about taking the club to new heights.
