The Coach

Cameroon are coached by Frenchmen Paul Le Guen, he was appointed their coach in July of 2009. Le Guen has previously coached club sides in France and Rangers in Scotland.

Cameroon's strengths

Cameroon's main strength is the number of quality defensive midfielders Cameroon can call upon to play in the center of the park.

Cameroon's weakness

Cameroon's weakness is their lack of creative, ball playing central midfielders.
