Afcon 2019: Cameroon sports minister wants Seedorf sacked after tournament 'failure'

Cameroon's Sports and Education Minister Narcisse Mouelle Kombi has called for national team head coach Clarence Seedorf to be relieved of his job following their disappointing Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) campaign in Egypt.

The Indomitable Lions' hopes of defending their title won in 2017 ended in flames after a Round of 16 defeat to Nigeria.

Seedorf has been in charge of the team since August last year.

“The failures and inadequacies of technical supervision, as well as his [Seedorf] inability to maintain discipline in the team, largely accounted for the failure of the Indomitable Lions at the 2019 Afcon, and these contradict the contract he signed on August 10, 2018," Kombi told state broadcaster CRTV (television) on Monday.
