Following some questionable decisions made in the Cameroon’s team during the just concluded AFCON tournament by the Indomitable Lion’s coach, Antonio Conceicao, his position with the Lions team at is now stake.
The Executive Committee of the Cameroon Football Federation held an Ordinary Session on Wednesday 16 February in Limbe, with one of the resolutions arrived at, requiring FECAFOOT President Samuel Etoo to take a crucial decision about the future of coach Antonio Conceicao with the Indomitable Lions.
This comes after calls for Toni Conceicao’s replacement following a controversial performance as coach, during the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations recently hosted by Cameroon.
Despite a laudable display by Vincent Aboubakar and his teammates, Conceicao’s few lapses had a diminishing effect on all of the positives for some fans. His decision not to effectively use Choupo Moting, was one of the main issues that provoked disenchantment among supporters. This was coupled with questionable choices made in some matches of the TotalEnergies AFCON, like in the bronze game against Burkina Faso which Cameroon nearly lost.
However, it almost seemed like the coach would be maintained, following Sports Minister Narcisse Mouelle Kombi’s outing on Sunday 13 February. He made the public understand that there was no plan to change the coach.
According to the resolutions taken during the FECAFOOT Ordinary Session in Limbe, it now appears Antonio Conceicao’s fate is yet to be decided on.
