Senegal manager storms out of press conference after jeers from Moroccan reporters

He left the room

Thiaw responded to loud boos from Moroccan journalists by getting up and walking out of the press conference, after his side's 1-0 Afcon final victory.

The tournament-winning manager has been accused of deliberately creating chaos during the final, after he called for his players to leave the pitch in protest to a controversial referee call.

Following a 15 minute disruption, Sadio Mane is said to have finally persuaded his teammates to return to the pitch, allowing the match to continue.

Incredibly, in the following minutes, Brahim Diaz went on to miss a key spot kick, after attempting a poorly executed panenka.

Senegal would eventually win the game, thanks to an extra-time winner.

In the minutes after full-time, the Senegalese manager had to fulfil his responsibilities by speaking to journalists.

At the conference, he was met with a hostile response from Moroccan reporters, who could be heard booing the 44 year-old.

When organisers failed to calm the room down, Thiaw could then be seen leaving.

While his side's victory in the tournament cannot be disputed, it remains to be seen if there are any further concequences for Thiaw's alleged role disrupting the African continent's biggest match.
