Former Premier League player retired in 2013 from football, while his last team was Birmingham City.
He also played 63 matches for Senegal, while he was one of the biggest stars in the 2002 World Cup.
The midfielder had scored the only goal at the time to defeat super-powered France.
Senegalese went to the quarterfinals of the World Cup that year, until FIFA had comforted Diop's family.
