Alexandre Belinga has resigned from his position as head coach of Sable FC de Batie, but the experienced tactician will continue serving Cameroonian football as deputy coach to David Pagou with the senior Indomitable Lions technical staff.

Sable FC de Batie confirmed Belinga’s departure in an official communiqué dated November 13, 2026, explaining that he tendered his resignation for personal and family reasons. The club’s management said it had taken note of his decision and accepted his departure.

In the statement signed by the club’s Secretary General, Koagne Julio Chardin, Sable FC de Batie also moved to dismiss speculation circulating on social media about the circumstances surrounding the separation. The club insisted that Belinga’s departure was not the result of any disagreement with its management, explaining that the decision was accepted in an atmosphere of mutual understanding, respect and cordiality.

Although expressing regret over the separation, the club praised the departing coach for his commitment, professionalism and contribution to the development of the team. Sable also wished him success in his personal and professional endeavours.

Belinga’s resignation from Sable FC de Batie therefore does not represent an exit from coaching responsibilities. He is expected to continue his work as David Pagou’s deputy within the technical staff of the Indomitable Lions, maintaining his involvement at the highest level of Cameroonian football.

His continued presence alongside Pagou provides continuity within the national team’s technical structure, even as he steps away from his club responsibilities.

Sable FC de Batie, meanwhile, have confirmed that arrangements concerning the appointment of a successor are currently under consideration, with further communication expected in the coming days.

The development marks a change in Belinga’s professional commitments rather than a departure from the game, as he continues to contribute to the development and technical direction of the Indomitable Lions.
