Cameroon has appointed Belgian Marc Brys as the new head coach of its men’s football team, the sports ministry said in a statement on Tuesday, following news in February that former coach Rigobert Song’s contract would not be renewed.
Brys would be assisted by Joachim Mununga and Giannis Xilouris, the statement said. It also named new technical, medical and administrative staff.
Song’s contract, agreed in March 2022, came to an end on February 29.
