The Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) has confirmed that coach Rigobert Song’s contract, which expired on Wednesday, will not be renewed, marking the end of his two-year tenure at the helm.
Song, a former player with 137 caps for Cameroon, steered the team to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where they secured a victory against Brazil but were eliminated in the first round.
However, at the recent Africa Cup of Nations finals in Ivory Coast, Song could only lead the team to the last-16 stage, where they were defeated by eventual finalists Nigeria.
Fecafoot in a statement said, “Today the Executive Committee of the Cameroon Football Federation notified the members of the Indomitable Lions staff of the end of their contract to manage Cameroon’s Senior Men’s National Team.”
