French coach Bruno Metsu, best known for leading Senegal into the
quarter-finals of the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan™, has died from
cancer at the age of 59.
“He died overnight at 3:30 a.m,” said
Herve Beddeleem, the executive director of BCM Gravelines-Dunkirk

Metsu caused a sensation at the 2002 World Cup when his Senegal team
defeated reigning champions France in the opening match. The Lions of
Teranga went on to reach the quarter-finals where they lost 1-0 to
Turkey.
