Malta national team coach Tom Saintfiet has denied applying for the Indomitable Lions job.

The Belgian, who has managed several international teams in a peripatetic coaching career, was reported as one of 77 coaches who have applied for the vacant Cameroon coaching job.

However, Saintfiet has personally confirmed that is definitely not interested in taking on the role.

“According to some media I am candidate for the Cameroon National Team job… let me be clear, I have not applied nor given any agent a mandate to apply for this or any other job! I have no intention to leave my current job as Maltese National Team Coach!,” Santifiet posted on his official Facebook page.

The much traveled tactician was appointed to head Malta national team seven months ago having previously worked as national coach of several countries, mostly in Africa and Asia.

Cameroon have not yet set a timescale for finding a new manager, but whoever comes in will have at least a year to work with the team before the 2019 Nations Cup tournament starts on home soil.

Cameroon’s coaching job became vacant in December last year when Hugo Broos, who led the team to a fifth Africa Nations Cup title was sacked after Indomitable Lions failed to make it to 2018 World Cup in Russia.
