Cameroon’s Ligue 1: David Pagou named Coach of the Month after PWD Bamenda’s stunning march revival

David Pagou has been voted the best coach of March in Cameroon’s Ligue 1 following a remarkable turnaround in form for PWD Bamenda under his leadership.

Pagou’s impact has been nothing short of transformative, guiding his team to three wins and a draw in four matches—a run that lifted the club out of the relegation zone and restored belief among supporters.

The award recognises not only results but also the renewed energy and discipline evident in PWD’s performances throughout the month.

The team’s resurgence came at a critical time. Previously mired in poor form, PWD were staring down the threat of relegation before Pagou steered them to an impressive 83% win rate in March.

That momentum saw the club accumulate 10 points out of a possible 12, a tally that proved decisive in climbing to 11th place in the league standings with 22 points.

“Figures that speak for themselves” has become a fitting phrase for Pagou’s March campaign.

His side scored seven goals while conceding just one, highlighting a newfound balance between attack and defence.

Even more notably, PWD registered three clean sheets—an indicator of the team’s improved organisation and tactical cohesion.

The statistics underline Pagou’s ability to galvanise his squad and instil a level of consistency that had been sorely lacking earlier in the season.

Beyond the numbers, the team’s confidence on the pitch has visibly grown, with players demonstrating greater focus, resilience, and determination.

While Pagou’s immediate goal was survival, the coach’s efforts have sparked cautious optimism that PWD could push higher up the table if the form continues.

The recent run has not only eased pressure on the club but has also revitalised fans’ expectations, with many now looking forward to the final stretch of the season with renewed hope.

David Pagou’s recognition as Coach of the Month reflects both his strategic acumen and his ability to inspire a group when it matters most.

His leadership has breathed life back into PWD Bamenda’s campaign—an achievement that stands as one of the month’s most compelling stories in Cameroonian football.
