Cisse’s monthly salary should has also been increased from 13,000 euros to about 22,000 euros.

A nice increase for Cisse who was the lowest paid of the 32 coaches at the 2018 World Cup. But to ensure his future, Cissé will have objectives to meet, first in Egypt next summer.

“It is written in black and white on the contract that he must reach the 2019 CAN final,” Augustin Senghor recently said, adding that failure to achieve this objective would not lead to Cissé‘s dismissal.

Despite everything, as the coach knows, expectations are high in the country.
