The Central African Federation is outraged after the appointment of Rigobert Song

The controversy is growing on the side of the Central African Republic. While Raoul Savoy, coach of Bamara de Bas-Oubangui, was sacked last October, the interim was provided by Eloge Enza Yamissi. But the former captain of the African selection will only have had time to play two matches at the head of the team, since it is now Rigobert Song who will take the reins. But there is a catch: the 48-year-old technician was appointed by the Ministry of Sports and not by the Central African Football Federation. A decision that does not pass.

In a press release, the Central African football body explains that it was not informed of the appointment of Rigobert Song: “ The Central African Football Federation learned with dismay and surprise through social networks the decree (…) relating to the appointment of the coaches of the national A team. » She also recalls that this type of decision is “ rights and skills reserved only for the executive committees of the federations “. As a reminder, Rigobert Song was appointed following an order signed by the Minister of Sports Rodolphe Héritier Bonheur Doneng Wazoumon.
