TAMALE, Ghana (AFP) — Senegal coach Henri Kasperczak confirmed here Monday his resignation 24 hours after his side's crushing 3-1 loss to Angola at the African Nations Cup.

Assistant coach Lamine Ndiaye will step in for the Pole as caretaker boss for Senegal's remaining Group D tie against South Africa in Tamale on Thursday.

Kasperczak told a press conference that he hoped his resignation might serve to change the side's fortunes.

"It was accepted, so I am now no longer the national coach."
