Finke meets Bidoung

Volker Finke met with the new Minister of Sport and Physical Education in Yaoundé. Several subjects were on the agenda during the meeting between Bidoung Mkpatt and the German technician. Among the discussion was a talk on his contractual situation.

According to camfoot sources, Bidoung Mkpatt has asked the tactician to stay in Cameroon for a few days to extend his contract. But the coach had asked permission from the minister to scout players in Europe for the Lions who will face Niger in November, as part of the FIFA World Cup 2018.
