The Senegal international guided the Three Lions to reach the quarter-final of the tournament, with Diop going on to score twice in the West Africans’ 3-3 group-stage draw with Uruguay before they were eventually eliminated by Turkey in the final eight.
Papa Bouba Diop had an international career with 65 caps, having featured at four Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, including when Senegal were defeated finalists in 2002.
He made the move to Premier League when he joined Fulham from Racing Club de Lens in 2004, going on to represent Portsmouth, West Ham United and Birmingham City before retiring in 2013.
After leaving Portsmouth, he won the Greek Cup during a brief stint with AEK Athens.
