Rigobert Song has stepped down from his role as head coach of the Cameroon national football team. Samuel Eto’o, the president of the Cameroonian Football Federation (Fecafoot), announced this decision on Wednesday.
Yes, the decision to part ways with Rigobert Song as the head coach of the Cameroon national football team follows their elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations in the last 16 stage in January.
Cameroon’s defeat came at the hands of Nigeria, who advanced to become the eventual runners-up of the tournament. This disappointing outcome likely contributed to the dissatisfaction with Song’s performance as the head coach, leading to his departure from the position.
Eto’o stated, “We have not achieved our objectives, and our executive committee and I do not see ourselves renewing the contract (with Song),” indicating dissatisfaction with the team’s performance under Song’s leadership.
