The former captain of the Benin Cheetahs, Stéphane Sessegnon, is stepping into a new chapter of his career. Having shone as an attacking midfielder in Europe and with the national team, he is now turning his attention to coaching.

Sessegnon is among the selected candidates set to take the CAF B Licence exams in 2026 at the Beninese Football Federation. This course will enable him to earn a coaching diploma recognized by the Confederation of African Football.

With his wealth of experience at both club and international levels, Stéphane Sessegnon hopes to pass on his knowledge and guide the next generation of Beninese footballers.
