Samson Siasia joins race for Cameroon job

Samson Siasia

Ex-Super Eagles coach, Samson Siasia, has reportedly applied for the vacant Cameroon national team job.

Reigning African champions, Cameroon, are without a substantive manager after sacking Belgian, Hugo Broos.

Siasia, 50, has been without a job after his last stint with the Nigerian team in 2016.

The ex-Nantes star will have to contend with 76 other applicants for the Indomitable top job.

These include Former France coach, Raymond Domenech, World Cup winner Lothar Matthaus and John Toshack.

Domenech, 66, who managed France at the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, has come close to managing an African national side.

Seven years ago, he claimed he was set to be named the Algeria manager but Bosnian Vahid Halilhodzic eventually got the job.

Toshack, 69, was a legendary player for Cardiff City, Liverpool and Wales.

As a manager, he won a Spanish league title with Real Madrid and led Swansea City from the bottom division to the summit of English football.

After managing teams in the footballing outposts of Macedonia and Azerbaijan, Toshack left Europe for a spell with Moroccan side Wydad Casablanca between 2014 and 2016.

Cameroon is gunning for a manager to guide through the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
