60-year-old former Indomitable Lions head coach Antonio Conceicao who was recently sacked by the Cameroon football is a subject of interest from the Equatorial Guinea National team. According to information curled from le Direct Info, the Portuguese tactician is expected to join the Nzalang Nacional in replacement of Coach Juan Micha by next week.
Conceicao’s failure to guide the Indomitable Lions to AFCON success on home soil played a crucial role in his dismissal and appointment of former under-23 Lions trainer Rigobert Song.
The Lions had actually looked to be in the right direction under the former Braga manager, until their AFCON semi-final defeat to Egypt on a post-match penalty shootout, brought in questions on the gaffer’s know-how.
Conceicao had led the Indomitable Lions in twenty-three games in all competitions, winning thirteen games, eight draws, and two defeats. Giving him an overall total of 56% ratio.
Despite the appreciative performance recorded, many football pundits believe the decision of sacking Toni nearer to Algeria’s head-to-head clash against Cameroon, counting for the World Cup qualifier by the FA is a wrong decision at this juncture.
Coach Aliou Cissé’s side defeated Equatorial Guinea 3-1 in the last quarter-final, of the 2021 Africa Nations Cup surely the reason football officials in the country are considering the Conceicao option.
