Legendary defender Rigobert Song appointed new Cameroon national team coach

Rigobert Song is the new Indomitable Lions head coach, Cameroon Sports Ministry announced on Monday evening as Portuguese manager Antonio Conceiçao is sacked.

Toni Conceiçao’s future was cloudy since he failed to guide Cameroon to AFCON glory on their home soil.

The Bronze medal won against Burkina Faso didn’t help the 60-year old in keeping his job and a FECAFOOT statement signed by its president Samuel Eto’o confirmed his departure.

“Cameroon Football Federation would like to inform the public and the football family of the end of coach Antonio Conceiçao’s contract”, the statement reads.

In the wake of the FA’s press release followed that of the Sports Ministry signed by Narcisse Mouelle Kombi announcing the appointment of Song.

With 137 games, Rigobert Song is the most capped player in Cameroon history.
