Clemente lands Cameroon job

Cameroon have appointed former Spain boss Javier Clemente as their new coach.

The Indomitable Lions parted company with former coach Paul Le Guen after losing all three of their group matches at the World Cup.

Clemente, who was in charge of Spain between 1992 and 1998, has been handed a two-year contract.

A statement on the official website of the Cameroon Football Federation read: “Javier Clemente is the new coach of Cameroon.

“The signing of the contract will take place in Yaounde on August 28 later this year.

“In his role, he will also be assisted by Francois Omam-Biyik. The former Indomitable Lion will serve as assistant coach.

“Jacques Songo’o, who served alongside Paul Le Guen as assistant coach in charge of goalkeepers during the World Cup, keeps his post.”
