McNasara Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Re: Africa for beginners... Cameroon (the Indomitable Lions) Coach: Jean-Paul Akono (since September 2012), guided Cameroon to Olympic gold in 2000, but failed to lead team to this year's ACN (since he took over the team before the second leg match against Cape Verde). So it is expected that some better known coach, probably from Europe, replacing him in the near future. Volker Finke (since May 2013), German who has no experience in Africa is the new coach of Cameroon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
