It has been claimed a manager who was recently sacked by one of Africa's biggest teams was willing to continue in his role without being paid.
In early October, it was confirmed that Senegal had parted ways with Aliou Cisse after nine years in charge.

Cisse's contract expired at the end of August, but the Senegal ministry of sports decided against renewing his deal despite the tactician's willingness to continue.
It has since been claimed that the 48-year-old offered to remain in charge even if it meant he would not be compensated financially.
Sports News Africa journalist Masour Loum said: "After learning that the Ministry of Sports did not want to sign him the new contract promised by the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF), Cisse nevertheless offered to lead the team for these two October matches, without financial compensation, given the short deadlines and that he had concocted the list.
"Negative response from the authority."
Meanwhile, the president of the FSF, Abdoulaye Seydou Sow, recently explained that Cisse had to be dismissed due to the criticism the Lions of Teranga were facing.
"I will not compromise at all, I simply think that the players in Senegalese football must sit down and discuss for the interest of the country. We must not try to force people. In my opinion, we must always favour dialogue and gentleness," Sow said, according to WIW Sport.
"The way he was ejected is inelegant. If the football players had discussed, they would have found a solution to the Aliou Cisse case.
"For the first time, Senegal has been criticised by the national and international press. Sport must always be marked by elegance, and it is this elegance that was lacking here.
"We had to part on very good terms."
