Former Cameroon international Bertin Ebwellé Ndingué has officially been appointed as the new head coach of Panthère Sportive du Ndé, marking a significant return to the dugout for one of the country’s experienced tacticians.
The 63-year-old replaces Yves Clément Arroga, who stepped down from his position on March 31, 2026. The club confirmed the appointment through an official communiqué issued in Bangangté, stating that the leadership moved swiftly to fill the vacancy in order to maintain stability within the team. Ebwellé will be assisted by Joseph Boniface Ndje Biba as part of the new technical setup.
Ebwellé arrives with a rich coaching résumé in Cameroonian football. He has previously managed top-flight sides such as Cotonsport de Garoua, Stade Renard de Melong and TKC, in addition to working with Cameroon’s youth national teams, including the U17 Lions. His vast experience is expected to bring discipline and tactical organization to the Bangangté-based side.
As a player, Bertin Ebwellé Ndingué enjoyed an accomplished career. He represented Cameroon at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, where the Indomitable Lions made history by reaching the quarterfinals. He was also part of the squad at the 1992 Africa Cup of Nations. At club level, he featured for Tonnerre Yaoundé, Olympic Mvolyé, and Indonesian side Persisam Putra Samarinda.
Panthère du Ndé expressed confidence that Ebwellé’s appointment guarantees “continuity and ambition” as the club pushes forward in the MTN Elite One championship. The new technical bench has already taken charge and is expected to immediately focus on improving results and steering the team toward its season objectives.
With his blend of international playing experience and extensive domestic coaching pedigree, Ebwellé’s arrival signals a new chapter for Panthère du Ndé as they aim to regain consistency and competitiveness in the league.
