Cameroon has named Belgian Marc Brys as the new head coach of their men’s football team, following the news that former coach Rigobert Song’s contract would not be renewed. Brys will be assisted by Joachim Mununga and Giannis Xilouris, and the statement also named new technical, medical, and administrative staff.
Song’s contract, which was agreed in March 2022, came to an end on February 29. During his tenure, he led the Indomitable Lions to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where they beat Brazil but were eliminated in the group stage. At the recent Africa Cup of Nations finals in Ivory Coast, he could only guide the side to the last 16, where they were beaten by eventual finalists Nigeria.
As a player, Song won 137 caps with Cameroon. The appointment of Brys is expected to bring a fresh perspective and approach to the team, as they look to improve on their recent performances and make strides towards achieving their goals.
