Cameroon appoint Toni Conceicao as head coach

Cameroon have named Portuguese manager Toni Conceicao as head coach of the senior national team on Friday.

The Portuguese trainer comes in as Clarence Seedorf’s replacement following the Dutchman’s dismissal in July after a poor Africa Cup of Nations showing.

The Indomitable Lions went into the competition in Egypt as defending champions, but couldn’t go past the Round of 16, where long-standing rivals Nigeria eliminated them 3-2.

It came on the back of an unimpressive group stage, in which the Central African nation ended second in Group F with five points.
