Following the lackluster performance of the Cameroonian national team at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) has reportedly decided not to renew the contract of coach Rigobert Song. Cfootcameroun has brought to light information indicating the federation's choice to terminate the collaboration with the former Lions Indomptables legend.

Rigobert Song's current contract concludes on February 29, and it appears that Fecafoot is not inclined to extend his role as a selection manager. His current record at the helm of the national team comprises 23 matches, with 6 victories, 8 draws, and 9 defeats.

This decision comes on the heels of a statement from Rigobert Song himself, asserting that he sees himself more as a selection manager than a coach. He also addressed the team's reconstruction process, emphasizing the time it takes, during a press conference after the defeat against Nigeria.

The disappointing performance at AFCON 2023 evidently influenced Fecafoot's decision, signaling a quest for a fresh start for the Cameroonian national team. Details regarding the selection of a new coach or the next steps in team management will be eagerly anticipated by football enthusiasts and observers in Cameroon
