African football legend Rigobert Song is elated at his appointment as Cameroon national team head coach.
The former Liverpool defender was on Monday 28 March 2022 appointed by Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot), and will be assisted by Frenchman Sebastien Migne.
Song called it a great honor and pleasure to be named the Indomitable Lions and has promised to achive good results with the team.
“ The Indomitable Lions jersey gave me everything. I am grateful. I am honored to have been chosen to guide the national team,” he posted on his official Facebook page.
“Beyond the privilege and the joy that animate me, I measure the importance of responsibility entrusted to me. I will give my best, as I did as a player and captain of the selection to deserve the trust given me by the Cameroon government, Fecafoot-Officiel president Samuel Eto’o and its Executive Committee.
“Thank you all for your messages of congratulations and encouragement.
