Seedorf, Kluivert Sacked After Cameroon’s ‘Premature’ AFCON Exit

In this file photo taken on July 6, 2019, Cameroon’s coach Clarence Seedorf and his assistant Patrick Kluivert arrive for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Round of 16 football match between Nigeria and Cameroon at the Alexandria Stadium in the Egyptian city. JAVIER SORIANO / AFPThe Cameroon Football Federation sacked coach Clarence Seedorf and assistant Patrick Kluivert on Tuesday, the pair paying the price for the defending champions’ last 16 exit at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Cameroon crashed out 3-2 to Nigeria last Saturday, an exit the federation described as “premature” in its statement. Former Dutch international Seedorf won just three of nine competitive games after taking over the Indomitable Lions alongside Kluivert last August.The federation are now hunting for a manager to prepare the national side for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations which they are hosting.

With a haul of four Champions League wins, five national titles and a host of individuals awards, Seedorf, a former AC Milan and Real Madrid midfielder enjoyed a decorated career on the pitch.Failures with Milan and Chinese club Shenzhen, relegation with Deportivo La Coruna and early elimination with Cameroon have clouded his reputation.
