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.
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.

Kumawood actor and entertainer Kwadwo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin, has stirred the conversation with his recent claims about his footballing prowess.
During an interview with Kwame Tanko on Lawson FM, Lilwin asserted that he possesses significant football talent, which has attracted attention from major Ghanaian clubs like Kotoko, Hearts, and Bechem Chelsea.
However, he mentioned that he has not signed with any team for personal reasons. Lilwin went further to claim that he was offered a football salary quadrupling what Asamoah Gyan, the former captain of Ghana’s Black Stars, was reportedly earning.
This bold statement has ignited a significant amount of debate across social and traditional media platforms, with skepticism regarding the authenticity of these claims.
While there is no direct evidence or corroboration from the clubs mentioned or from past reports linking Lilwin to professional football contracts, his transition to sports isn’t entirely new.
Lilwin had previously signed a two-year contract to play for Division One League side New Edubiase United in 2021, serving both as a player and club ambassador. However, specifics on his performance and salary details from that stint remain largely anecdotal.

During an interview, Lilwin shared insights into his promotional strategy.
He emphasized that given the substantial investment in the production, ensuring the movie received ample visibility was crucial.
Therefore, he invested approximately the old currency equivalent of 15 billion Cedis into promoting “A Country Called Ghana”.
