The coach managed clubs in Belgium for most of his career, but also worked in the Netherlands and Saudi Arabia. The Cameroon team was eliminated in the round of 16 of the last African Cup of Nations (CAN), in January, by Nigeria.
The new coach will have the mission of classifying the team for the next edition of CAN, in 2025, and for the 2026 World Cup.
