Made in Cameroon: Rigobert Song is new coach of the Chadian national team

The former captain of the Lions of Cameroon, Rigobert Song has been appointed as the new coach of the Chadian national team. The news was made public on Monday, 26 October 2015 by football authorities in the republic of Chad. Rigo as his team mates often referred to him had a very successful football career with the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon winning two Africa Cup of Nations titles. In Europe he played for FC Metz (France), Galatasaray (Turkey) Liverpool (England), West Ham (England) RC Lens (France), and FC Cologne (Germany). He retired in 2010 and became a football consultant.

Song succeeds Frenchman, Tregoat Emmanuel, who managed the Chadian team for closed to two years. The president of the Chadian football association, Mahmoud Mouckhtar said Rigobert Song's mission is to prepare the matches counting for the qualifiers for the World Cup in Russia in 2018. Chad is one of those funny arrangements created by Sepp Blatter. The country does not have a national league despite receiving hush hush money from FIFA every year for the development of the beautiful game.
