NATIONAL TEAM - CAMEROON - COACH - Hugo Broos named as new coach

Africa cup 2017 Qualifiers

 

Belgium's Hugo Broos was on a shortlist of five for the vacant Cameroon head coach position

Cameroon's Football Federation have appointed former Belgium international, Hugo Broos, as the Indomitable Lions' new head coach.

Broos, 63, takes over from Volker Finke who was sacked in October.

Alexandre Belinga, the team's interim coach for the past three months, will remain as an assistant to the Belgian along with another former Belgian player, Sven Vandenbroeck.

Broos has coached extensively across Europe and Africa.

He won the Belgian Championship twice with Brugge in 1992 and 1996, and enjoyed spells in Greece, Turkey and Algeria in recent years.

His first task with Cameroon will be to keep them top of their 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying group M, when they face qualifiers - home and away - against South Africa next month.

He will also take charge of the Indomitable Lions when they take on France in a friendly in May.
