OFFICIAL: Cameroon part ways with head coach Rigobert Song

The Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT) have announced the sacking of Rigobert Song as the national team head coach.

Cameroon suffered a disappointing exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after losing 2-0 to Nigeria in the round of 16.

They also had a poor run in the group stages managing just one win against Gambia and a draw with Guinea.

Their poor performances led FECAFOOT president Samuel Eto’o to opt against a contract extension for Rigobert Song, who now departs his role after two years in charge.

“We have not achieved our objectives, and our executive committee and I do not see ourselves renewing the contract,” Eto’o told France 24.

“Song brought a lot to this team. Now we have to think about the future.”
