Cameroonian national team coach, Rigobert Song, has responded robustly to serious accusations against him, revealing his intention to pursue legal action in the wake of defamatory claims related to a coaching diploma. The allegations surfaced during a sports program on Cameroonian channel Canal 2 International, where Song was purportedly accused of presenting a falsified coaching certificate.
In a video that circulated, Rigobert Song was accused of possessing a supposedly false coaching diploma:
Expressing his vehement objection to the accusations, Song, through his legal representative, Me Bayebec, conveyed his outrage, characterizing the claims as defamatory and harmful to his reputation.
The former Cameroonian captain clarified that the diploma showcased during the broadcast originated from the Tahitian Football Federation and held the title “Federal Football Certificate (CFF1) (U9-U11).” According to Song, this fact underscores the baselessness of the accusations leveled against him.
Determined to safeguard his integrity, Rigobert Song officially declared his intention to take legal action against those responsible for the defamatory statements, as well as any other individuals implicated in the matter.
This assertion was conveyed through a press release issued by the legal representation entrusted with protecting his rights. The unfolding developments in this legal pursuit will be closely monitored as the coach seeks redress and vindication.
