Momar Ndiaye was interim president of the Senegal Football Federation

The chaos surrounding Senegalese football continued on Monday as the interim president of the nation's football federation resigned.

Momar Ndiaye had only taken charge of the Senegal Football Federation (FSF) on 8 March, after the resignation of previous incumbent Mbaye Ndoye.

"I have stepped down for personal reasons," Ndiaye, 57, told BBC Sport.

Ndiaye's move means at least 8 leading members of the FSF have quit following Senegal's early 2008 Nations Cup exit.

The Teranga Lions had been tipped as dark horses to win this year's tournament but crashed out in the group stages for the first time since 1986 instead.

The public pressure on the FSF largely contributed to Ndoye's dismissal earlier this month, although he also claimed his resignation was for 'personal reasons.'

The latest departure comes a day after an extraordinary FSF General Assembly in Dakar, which had been scheduled to resolve the differences ripping apart Senegalese football but which ended in acrimony.

"After yesterday's meeting, I am not sure we will be able to unite the main players in Senegalese football," Ndiaye told the BBC on Monday.

It also emerged on Monday that two other FSF figures had resigned as a country which has suspended all football indefinitely continues to lurch into chaos.

Just two months before their opening 2010 World Cup qualifier, Senegal currently has no FSF president, an interim national coach in the shape of Lamine Ndiaye and no scheduled friendlies.

The administrative troubles within the FSF mean the 2002 World Cup quarter-finalists will not play a friendly next week on days set aside for internationals by Fifa.

Some 189 of Senegal's 229 clubs were represented at Sunday's meeting and although the majority backed the FSF to continue, a minority still demanded their collective resignation.

The meeting was boycotted by a group called the CCPC which comprises around 20 local clubs, amongst them the country's most successful outfits - Jeanne d'Arc and Diaraf.

The CCPC says it will not take part in a new professional league if the current administrators within the FSF remain.

For the first time in Senegal's history, the country was to create a professional league after the Nations Cup but the future of the much-heralded championship is now unclear.

Although Fifa strongly disapproves of governmental interference in the running of football, any hopes of aiding the Senegalese game appear to rest with the state.

The Ministry of Sport is expected to make an announcement this week on the failure to reach a unanimous decision about the FSF's future on Sunday.

The body has also yet to report to the Senegalese federation about the proposals laid out for the new professional league, which the government received in January according to the FSF.
