Former Cameroon coach Rigobert Song has been named the new manager of the Central African Republic national football team.
The appointment was announced by the country’s sports minister. Song will be tasked with guiding the “Wild Beasts” to their first-ever qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations finals.
Song, a former Cameroon captain and a renowned defender in his playing days, recently concluded his tenure as the coach of the Cameroon national team.
He led Cameroon to qualification for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar but was unable to guide the team beyond the group stage.
This new appointment presents a fresh challenge for Song as he seeks to lead the Central African Republic to new heights in international football.
