Rigobert Song Heads To England For ‘Unfinished Business’

In view of Cameroon’s must win 2022 World Cup qualifiers tie, Rigobert Song will have very little time to set up an arsenal of a team to pit Algeria in the play-offs.

Rigobert Song flew on Wednesday evening for a short stay in Europe. The new coach of the Cameroon national team will meet the other members of his technical staff and also take the opportunity to talk with some Cameroonian internationals, including Joel Matip, as reported by kick442.com.

The meetings with dual nationals will be to try a convince them to join the Cameroon national.

The now EX-coach of the U-23 Lions is not the first in line for coaches who have tried the manoeuvre in recent times. Clarence Seedorf and Antonio Conceiçao were made such trips, and most, without any success.

Rigobert Song’s baptism of fire comes up under a month in the tie against Algeria, and he could do with players like Joel Matip (Liverpool) Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) amid others.

Last attempts to draw these players to the Lions den have often left a bitter taste in certain enthusiastic fans.

For his first try, Song will marshall Cameroon to the first leg in the WC qualifiers to be played on Friday March 25 at the Japoma stadium in Douala, while the second leg will take place on Tuesday March 29 at the Mustapha-Tchaker stadium in Blida.
