“He was the pioneer in so many things concerning football affairs and player management coming from Africa-rest well Pape Diouf,” he tweeted.

Cameroon and Barcelona football icon Samuel Eto’o also joined a plethora of former footballer to express their pain after his death.


“You take the best of this beautiful continent. Have a good rest boss,” Eto'o posted with a video on Instagram.
