Volker Finke, a 65-year-old German coach, has been appointed as the new head coach of the Cameroon national football team, the Indomitable Lions. Finke, known for his coaching career in Germany, is set to receive a monthly salary of 10 million CFA francs (around 20,000 euros). He will replace Jean Paul Akono, who previously led the team but didn’t sign a formal contract. Akono, who had a distinguished career, including winning the 2000 Olympic Games with the Cameroon U23 team, faced challenges, and his illness has led to his departure from the coaching role. Finke’s primary mission is to guide the Indomitable Lions to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
