Former Senegal international striker Jules-Francois Bocande died on Monday at the age of 54, the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) announced. Bocande had been unwell for several months after suffering a stroke and died following a surgical procedure, according to the Senegalese Press Agency (APS). He enjoyed his greatest success as a player with Metz, where he was crowned top scorer after netting 25 goals in France's Ligue 1 championship in the 1985-86 season. Bocande also played for Paris Saint-Germain, Nice and Lens in France and participated in three CAF Africa Cups of Nations with his country, whom he captained and then went on to coach during the 1990s. "I'm totally devastated," said FSF president Augustin Senghor. "It's an enormous loss for Senegalese football. We knew that he was suffering. Bocande revived Senegalese football. He gave everything to Senegalese football through his talent and his commitment."
